Wallace said his site is being victimized by a “typo squatter,” a person
or company that has registered various misspellings of Web addresses. In
Wallace's case, a company called Pointcom.com has registered the name
“PassThiOn.com” (missing an “s”) that also launches multiple windows
when someone tries to exit the site.
“Usually these are not reputable companies … I'm about to start taking legal
action,” Wallace said.

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
