Ah yes, those pesky facts. Hard to get many facts without cooperation
of the offending parties, now isn't it?
All we have to go on are the actual DNS and whois responses returned
on the 'net. Facts enough for most of us. Maybe the only facts that

Since he somehow missed the fact that the DNS changed (what was *he*
looking at), upon what did he base his opinion?
