Post 15 was originally registered by one -redacted- but now shows up as "Commentor." One has to wonder about the identity of the individual who originally made the posting, and their relationship to this site (if such alterations could be so easily made.)

Back in 2005 I noticed that the “www.dnn.com” domain name was not being actively used, and instead was redirecting to an “Aberdeen News” newspaper site.

Not actively being used like how? According to who?

The sooner you post the result on your blog, Shaun, the better. Then again, be ready for a possible barrage of comments. :)

However, when we are talking about folks in the US who also do not have a lawyer, and they are contemplating purchase of a domain name for a particular purpose, what is the takeaway for such persons who (a) do not intend to use a domain name for the recited goods or services, and (b) actually perform a search and determine that an application was finally refused. Mr. Walker's position is that a Canadian registration of "DNN" for particular goods and services confers upon him a global right to those letters for any purpose, against any party, anywhere.
