Be very careful. After getting the serious shaft from a volkswagen
dealership, I went down that path and registered goldengatevw.com and
haywardvw.com, among others. I then posted a warning on them about the
owners shady history and business practices
( https://matt.ethereal.net/ggvw/ ),
Because of my actions, regardless of their legality or constitutional
protections, I am now spending tens of thousands of dollars on legal
fees defending myself from a 1.5 million dollar lawsuit.

What I've learned about the process is that its not about who's
telling the truth. It's about who's got more money to spend on
lawyers.
