That last posting was October 4. One of many posts I made at various internet forums describing my intentions to transfer the BindiIrwin.Com domain over to Terri Irwin for free.
The next day on Oct 5 I was savaged in the press. http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/bindi-website-squatter-abhorrent/2006/10/05/1159641438737.html I wonder if those two unscrupulous pathetic excuses for reporters read that message. Seems a bit coincidental. Atleast internet surfers seem to be on my side. INTERNET POLLS. Is Wayne Smith who bought BindiIrwin.Com a Cybersquatter? http://www.opinion.com.au/5201_Is_Wayne_Smith_who_bought_BindiIrwin%2ECom_a_Cybersq.htm No, he gave the domain away to the Irwins and saved it from real Cybersquatters. 221 votes. Yes, although he didn't profit from it he had no right to register the domain. Zero votes. I found this poll rather surprising though. What would you have done with BindiIrwin.Com? http://www.opinion.com.au/5199_What_would_you_have_done_with_BindiIrwin%2ECom%3F.htm Sell it! 127 votes. Give it to the Irwins for free! Zero votes.

To the critic ridiculously comparing Bindi to Lisa Maree Presley I'd like to point out that Steve was nothing like Elvis and Lisa Maree has never been under any pressure to become Elvis. Elvis was killed by a heart attack brought on by an overdose of prescription drugs. Steve's only drug was adrenalin.
I contacted a reporter the other day who graciously forwarded on a letter to the Discovery channel for me. She is going to contact me once they confirm having sent it to Terri Irwin's business manager John Stainton. Now that some time has passed by and the memorial service is over I have asked if Terri Irwin wants the domain http://www.bindiirwin.com and if so to please reply with details on transferring it over to her posession. The domain has had over 40,000 visits since I registered it to keep the URL safe from Cybersquatters and advertising agencies. The Dot Org and Dot Net URL's vanished soon afterwards.
Here is an example of an ad agencies idea of a fun website.
http://www.terriirwin.com
Ugh!
