Your email was marked as spam by gmail.com. It looks like they want to
buy the linuxdoc domain so they can resell it at a profit. Even though we
are not incorporated we still have legal rights. So I would object to
someone registering it unless they have discussed it with us on the
discuss list (and we agree).
