Janys - My One True Love!!!

I couldn't help myself, like a small child told not to do something, I went and did it anyway and followed the link. How foolish we little boys are!

7 pages later, or was that 8 and furious Ctrl/Alt/Delete, I managed to get myself out.

See, like all good women, you advised not to do it didn't you.

Found another one today - worse still. Can't remember if it was Danny or Roberto who pointed it out, but anyway www.cofeecup.com I seem to recall. And one of those ghastly, really annoying, frustrating, irritating sites which pops up loads of windows and doesn't want to let you get back to where you came from.

I too have made the mistake of going here before...not doing that more than once either.

I think that I shall register CoffeeCupOnline.Com and see if I can get some people think I am the real thing! I think perhaps I will create a Burlesque site offering an incongruous (though not rude) imitation of something so onlike coffeecup.com, that people will feel obliged to buy something from me just because they feel so stuuuuuupid. Or perhaps I won't and will just carry on with my church web site!

Hi Mark

We really appreciate your enthusiasm, but please don't register any domain names with our name in them. We would not like to see users get confused with the different brand names.

Hi Scott,

I remember hearing about this. If you register a domain name. Try and take up all extentions. So no one can use that name. Like coffeecup.com, .net, .org, .us and so on. Maybe buy the remaining close domain names to CoffeeCup.com domain name. So people does not get confused.

No what I mean? I hope!

Hi Scott - Don't worry! I was just kidding. My priority is to see if I can get the domain bishbashbosh.com - don't know what I would do with it, but it sounds good though doesn't it?

Scott, I, among with others, were justing having a little fun with CoffeeCup, trying to see what or who had duped us to their sites.

Remember, look out for bishbashbosh.com
