Sorry, I do not believe in that theory because pretty much
the same thing happened severel weeks ago with somebody
trying to reserve a STAROFFICE.COM account - also using
Network Solutions and also having the same naming schema:
as now "MA, PHILIP (MULINUX-DOM)" they had "(STAROFFICE-DOM)"
in their name and I think things like this do not happen
by coincidence.

To me it looks the other way around but (perhaps?) I might
be wrong...

So why did Rahul write a complete article on muLinux without
mentioning the Homepage? Only giving a hint to mulinux.com
and to the nevalabs.org? To me this looks strange.
