(AP) -- An Internet committee investigating suspicious domain name transactions has found no evidence that insider information is being used to snatch desired Internet addresses to make money off the individual or business that actually wants to register them.

  Network Solutions just committed suicide I would never use them again. Them holding is actually making more issues with it as I am sure you could scan the dns to find all the records they are holding and then pick the good ones out and buy them or heck buy them all as soon as they release it and see who asks to buy it. ICANN wake up!

  Since domain snatching has happened to me three times I know for a fact that it DOES occur. What are the odds of an obscure name that is not registered being offered for sale the day after checking on it's availability? Three times!!?
