This is pretty funny, someone is trying to threaten me into giving them my

replies to their e-mails..)

This was the first e-mail I received from them. Because I'm not really
using my domain for anything but e-mail (which is still a valid use), if
they wanted the domain for something really cool, I probably would have
sold it to them for a very reasonable rate. But, of course, I'm not about
to tell anyone that.... and now for their replies:
