Even the White House has had to offer its critiques off the record for fear of roiling the markets or upsetting the chairman's Elvis-in-Vegas-like following. So when the chief economist of ...

In my experience, Panix is run by really competent and dedicated people; I wouldn't be surprised if they dream in Unix. So if this hijacking can happen to them, something is deeply screwed up in the way domain names registration is run.

19049 [lbo-talk] Panix.net -- rank: 1000

Something odd happened to Panix yesterday - it disappeared from namespace. Most ateempts to send mail to Panix addresses bounce as undeliverable. No one seems to know what happened yet. As an interim fix, they set up a "Panix.net" domain, so mail addressed to that destination will get there. But I've been offline and haven't been getting list messages. I'm now sub'd at the Panix.net address. Hope we're all being fiercely intelligent, in a civil way, with generous helpings of libido and ...

That kind of knowledge gave the organization a lot of heft - much more than it would have had had it just been a bunch of folks acting out in the street. Doug
