Wallace's old company, Cyber-Promotions, used to send as many as 25 million unsolicited e-mail advertisements each day, gaining him a reputation as the depraved "King of Spam". In April 1998, however, Wallace renounced his title and launched a legitimate Internet marketing company, SmartBot.net.

Now Wallace claims the proprietor of Adbility.com has unfairly accused SmartBot of spamming.

In April, Mark Welch of Adbility.com posted the complaints to an anti-spam newsgroup -- SmartBot's Internet connection to Verio ISP was severed.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
