	Thinking back to this comment, I suppose that if *I* were the domain
	maintainer I would take this attitude to.  The problem really started
	when Adhocnet.CA "escaped" our local area DECnet network.  I'm not
	sure how we can retract the domain for a short time while registering.
	It would drive our mailers batty too :-).

	Again, I'm not sure how to retract it.  I'll attempt to reregister us
	and see if that helps.
