I had three emails in my inbox when I got up this morning, all from members of the mod crew, which is what spawned me to look into it. Afterall, the site was not redirecting for me, so had no one said anything, I would have not known.

Hehe I was wondering what was going on.

Took me a little bit to figure out what was going on, but the log files showed that indeed people where not insane and it was redirecting traffic.

Anyhow, all is good and I can now laugh about it.

Should that be "ex-friend"? :-)

It could have been worse: At least he didn't set it to microsoft.com.

Well I thought you finally became a millionaire Scott by selling the domain to Apple. Hey maybe that would be a possibility.

It seemed plausible after iPhone.com was sold to apple for a 7-figure sum
