Another member of activebass has posted the fact that an anti-abortion organization is using www.cliffburton.com as a gateway to their site. I believe they are wrong in doing this. I say we all send emails voicing our opinions, for or against. I have already sent an email. Maybe it's just me that is disturbed by this and I apologize if I anger anyone. Thank you.

Hey I emailed their webmaster yesterday.

This is my original message, and his reply at the top:

Yes, we do not own that domain name.

Way to go, Buddy. I got the same response from the webmaster. I still say that someone isn't completely honest. However, If they don't own the domain name, who does?

That's what I asked.

His response:

Someone reg'd it and pointed it there.

Then I said okay so basicly someone registered the domain, but nothing was put up, so it sent me to your site, correct?

I'll keep you all posted.

Hehe Post..im postING..get it..hehe

Whew, That site is graphic. I don't think his name should be used unless he expressed a desire for that. Of course he died before this "great internet age" so that's impossible.
