[geeks] call for help (fwd)

[Geek Blog]

I would like to see a way found to ensure they get the domain back, and 
to see GoDaddy apologize to both Dave's mother and her client, but I 
have to think this is unlikely. I liked GoDaddy for the price of their 
domains and so on, but it really worries me that they don't even bother 
to check if the info is good for themselves, instead just yanking the 
domain. You would think that a company with the reputation that GoDaddy 
has built up that they would take more care. I guess I was wrong.
