    I hope enough people digg this. The situation is nothing short of a pan-European scandal.

    Why is that?
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Oh what do you know i get a red rep for my post i made above.

    Check out the comment:
    Apr 10th 2006 4:19 pm That did not make any sense

    What doesn't make sense is giving red rep for me pointing out my support for this issue you useless chickenshit sheep fucking coward!! This moron doesn't obviously understand how digg.com works since you need to digg the story hence my expression ''I digged it''.

    I just hate cowards that give red rep for no reason at all. A coward online is a definate coward off-line... in the real world.

    Nah, doubt it ... but you never know.

    Personally, I blame that useless entity set up to oversee the .eu domain, www.eurid.eu.

    Well , isn't ilegally to spam forums for asking other peple to digg you? I mean the diggs must be done... because of people want... not because somebody is asking "digg me!digg me!digg me!digg me!"

    Can't you see this is for a worthy cause?
    And us webmasters help each other out with digging the stories.

    Um, I didn't ask anyone to digg me. :)

    I did ask that people digg Bob Parsons' blog about the .eu mess because I thought the blog of the ceo of one of the largest domain registrars in the world, describing what he (and many others) perceives as an underhanded scam and possibly the biggest internet scandal in a decade, was worth bringing to the attention of the webmaster community.

    Since I post here most days and know a lot of fellow webmasters have an interest, I thought here was a great place to get that message across.

    they kept making references to how "north american companies" were buying all the domains.

    imo, although it's causing a problem, it's smart of the north american companies.

    it's the fault of the eu registry that the loophole exists.

    still, i can easily imagine europeans thinking "damn americans registered all the dominas"
