It's pretty obvious they don't know much about the computer mediated communication. They should probably fire their PR people over there too. Their lack of tact with this issue is sure to have a nice back lash on the company.

Appears it's been in use for a financial newsletter since 1996. I'll be sure to update my link to you as soon as you set up the new domain.

I'm with mapgirl on this one. The don't own the words, "All" "Things" and "Financial". My buddy runs a site that used to be called heismanprojection.com. He collects actual Heisman votes, and runs a regionally weighted projection. He has nailed the winner and the percentage of votes four years in a row. Last year he received a c&d letter from the Heisman Trust. He changed the name to stiffarmtrophy.com, and all references on the site were to the "H word." I hope you can beat this.

What about all those other sites like MacAddict.com or MacLovers.com? You aren't AllThingsFinancial.com... Another example, http://www.bestbuysux.org. I'm sure they don't own the Best Buy trademark. Just want to make sure you know all your rights. I am in no way a lawyer. Are you sure? What about all those other sites like MacAddict.com or MacLovers.com? You aren’t AllThingsFinancial.com…
