I think John Williams is probably Heather.

Strangely enough, this post doesn't get my blood
pumping. I'm glad because if I were to reply, they
would reply and it would go on and on and on.

It's over for me. I don't care what they say on that
site I will not take the bait. :)

Now I'll go back to bed.

John Williams Says:

I think it is a bit strange the new company went for a
.org name of an existing .com business. Whilst I
cannot comment on the intentions of the new (.org)
company in this individual case, occurrences of this
sort of issue where traffic from an existing and
established site is ‘hijacked’ by setting up a very
similar domain name is not uncommon.

Why the .org extension???? The definition of a .org is
:

.ORG: Short for .organization. Originally designated
for non-profit firms and any other organizations that
did not fit under the .com or .net extension, any
individual or business may now register a .org domain
name

Whilst, as the description says, these are now
available to individuals and companies these were
originally for non-profit making organisations and
still have an inference that this is the case. Why not
.biz or .net as a more suitable extension? I can only
assume from looking at their site they are a profit
making company?

Finally, if they are brand new and truly genuine, it
would not impact on them to change the name to
something markedly different. They will not have any
deep linking or search engine indexing that will be
affected - I checked on Google and they only have a
total of 5 back links logged.

Why all the fuss??? I would change my name to
something completely different and then the existing
company and I could get on with our respective
businesses rather than engaging in a playground type squabble.
