So how on earth did it get the address STOWE.NU ? They probably paid for it. Some countries sell their name space. Take Tongo for example (.to).

Hope that helps. || c. Pauline M. Marshall || (_" [log in to unmask] || |\_> http://www.logic.net/~mmouse/ || \___> I-barc, SmallDogs and Dog-rescue Listowner
