Re:never use the web for such queries (Score 1)

I,ve just got to say that I am very fond of GoDaddy, I've had multiple (50+) domains registered with them over several years (after being VERY disappointed with other registars). Many times I've checked a Domain name availability and checked with a client before registering, this has never happened to me, I suspect some other form of snooping.

In Addition, I have never seen a registrar with their web interface so well defined and easy to use, total DNS control Rocks, the features included for the base registration fee are IMHO remarkable.

yada yada yada, but kudos to GoDaddy !
