    so i've been working on getting a new domain name, turtleworks.com. check it out with whois, it's available. take a few weeks to make sure i can use Turtle Works as a business name. finish that and on friday last week go to register turtleworks.com. domain name not available! someone registered that very morning, isn't that amazing timing! it turned out alright i registered turtlehand.com which better indicates the intent anyway.

    Some time ago there were rumors that registrars check their query logs, and "reserve" them for domain trade.

      that may be true, and shrewd, but not the case this time. a school in vermont obtained the domain. i contacted them directly to see what they were up to and received a reply. Josef Wainz Software Developer

        Ahh too bad. Another beautiful conspiracy theory slaughtered by ugly facts.

          I just registered your favorite names, as well as common deviations. Just contact me if when you made your choice, and I can offer you a great deal! I'd go for "thoemmi"
