A while back, during the public spat between Canada and Denmark over Hans Island (a "conflict" that continues to this day), I tongue-in-cheek registered the domain nukedenmark.com (which is, of course, ridiculous given that Canada is a non-nuclear nation, not to mention that Denmark is a close ally. The whole situation was somewhat ridiculous and I was poking fun at it).

To avoid those people who would take it a bit too seriously, I registered it with the hidden registrar functionality, using a proxy to hide my details (a feature that you can pay extra for).

The current events involving Denmark -- or rather a fringe newspaper in Denmark, which somehow has become all of Denmark's problem -- reminded me that I'd registered it. I decided to take a look to ensure that it doesn't expire, possibly into the hands of someone less benevolent.

I visited GoDaddy, but discovered that I couldn't remember the details of the account that I used originally for it. Sure enough they offer several reminder features, including one where it'll email you your customer # when you punch in a domain. Punching in nukedenmark.com, it then verifies the email address as "Email Address:*******@yafla.com" before sending the email. So much for proxy privacy.

I found this a bit hilarious. I used the Domains by Proxy feature, but here it is publicly stating for anyone that the contact is @ yafla, which of course is a small number of people.

For those who wonder, I actually did create a humorous website for the domain, including a "live" webcam (it was pure white) and "conflict" details, however I had hestitations realizing that some are born without a sense of humor.
