Hi,
There is this domain that is expiring at eNom ("myname".com).
I used to use whois.enom.com on a daily basis to check if the domain would be auctioned on that day, and even then, I was paranoid that eNom would be logging whois checks and then placing a public auction on it with a high reserve.
Also, I had a "saved search" that would e-mail me if any domains auctioned matched "myname".
Today, I found out that the domain is being auctioned off, and suprisingly, my domain is a "public auction" while 99% of other pre-release auctions are "reverse auctions".
Why? Again, it's "myname".com - it most likely has zero traffic, and very low Google - many of the other domains that are reverse auction have even more.
I have absolutely no doubts that eNom is logging whois checks.
Now it's going to cost me $40 or so to obtain a domain I should have been to with $10.
eNom can go to hell.
