David,
I think Paul Dod's explanation is much more likely. The world of
internet domain names has become murkier and murkier. Cocos and
Turkish Cyprus sharing the same domain? Next we will be sharing
the .au domain with Austria. Ah, well lot of the world can't seem to
be able to tell the difference any way.
I did find it rather puzzling that the good folk of our Cocos should
be up to that sort of shenannigans.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Hi Carl,
I'd be interested to know what evidence you have for that. The Cocos
(Keeling) islands have a population of about 600 people, maybe 100
computers and not too many email adresses. There is only one service
provider and they have excellent controls on incoming spam. Is it
perhaps one of the other Cocos Islands, not the Australian ones? Or
perhaps a bogus address?

Dear B-Aers,
Interesting to note that the spam problem that Belinda Cassidy has
just had originates from a Cocos Islands internet address. Not
everything on the Cocos is birder friendly it perhaps.
Cheers,
