Accusations
Last week, this e-mail was dropped in my inbox. All e-mails are translated from Norwegian by me, name and e-mail address also removed by me:
Subject: nice try
From: Vegard Xxxxxx Vegard.Xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.no
Date: 03.11.2005 15:10
but not very legal, is it…?
An interesting mail, I’ve obviously tried something which isn’t legal. Another interesting detail is that the guy shares my first name. I send this reply:
Subject: Re: nice try
To: Vegard Xxxxxx Vegard.Xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.no

hmmm? what?

Later the same day he sends this reply back:

This is probably you:

Didn’t work, of course.
Remembered you from this one: http://www.vegard.net/oh-com-on/
So, basically, what this guy is doing is that he accuses me of being a domain hijacker! The nerve of some people! Based on a single e-mail sent from a gmail account created using his name and an entry I wrote three years ago, he now throws this in my face. The following day, I sent him this e-mail in return:
Subject: Re:SV:Re: nice try

Vegard,
The first time someone would accuse me of being a low life domain thief, I had thought it would be with a little more hard evidence than an e-mail sent from a gmail account and an entry I wrote almost three years ago. I lease the domain vegard.net and is happy with that. I have no interest in vegard.xxx - unless it becomes available of natural reasons.
So, no, this is not me.
Best regards,
Vegard Skjefstad
I haven’t heard anything back from him yet. Please, the next time you decide to throw anything like this at me, try to back it up with something a tad tighter. This is just ridiculous. Thank you.
Maybe the same person who tried to hijack his domain also tried to hijack mine. I don’t know, but I certainly don’t hope so.

Do you have any thoughts you want to share? A question, maybe? Or is something in this post just plainly wrong? Then please send an e-mail to vegard at vegard dot net with your input. You can also use any of the other points of contact listed on the About page.
ju9||Actually all the evidence points towards the low life domain thief being himself, the gmail account was infact created using his name and who else would do that? HMMM??? .. :P
ju9||and I must say Vegard Xxxxxx has made good use of vegard.xxx .. (since sarcasm and its cousin irony sometimes doesn’t translate to well into text; yes, I’m making an attempt at sarcasm)
Vegard Xxxxxx has made good use of vegard.xxx
I really didn’t feel that I could say that, even if I wanted to. Good thing you said it, then.
ju9||Hehe.. It needed saying.. :p
