Todd Spangler fom Mecklermedia just informed me that wired was wrong
and the injunction *was* granted. Sigh. I guess "wired" refers to the

At this point I have no idea whats up, or where Eugene is or what
NSI will do next as Eugene has fled and left alternic on autopilot.

Ironically, they havn't placed his domain on hold. :-)
