Re: Hijacked Domain Names?

You say you have Federal trademarks, yet I've seen nothing of such.

I asked you privately in e-mail for the registration number which you
failed to give me.

Part of the federal trademark registration process is a 
period in which your registration request can be disputed.  You're
saying nobody disputed EARTH and USA? Please.

I've never seen a federal trademark registration be completed in
under two years.

Provide me with the federal registration number, and I'll believe you.
Otherwise, be quiet and go back to your little fantasy world.
