I wouldn't have thought it possible in this day and age, where things are so precise, a coma or a full stop can make all the difference,
Today has been a great day, i have figured out how to add a link to my url (i think) but it had to end on a real downer.
someone from WA was giving feedback on my site and mentioned he had trouble getting through, and he checked with whois guard, don't ask why!
But he told me that my domain name is still for sale on namecheap.com, so i instantly stopped what i was doing and went to their site, only to have it confirmed chrissbookblog.com is up for sale, on checking my spelling i own chrissbookblogs.com the only difference is an S on the end, apparently this is the icann rules they can still sell a name with or without an S on the end you could end up with a site gaining lot's of traffic to a site you've built and all your hard work goes down the drain for a consonent. this is an absolute crime and something needs doing promptly. I'm considering legal action but it's not something i would be able to persue for financial reasons.
I suppose the other thing is to buy all conatations of your domain name which would make it a very expensive deal
