Also, according to their web page, the domains:
.uk
.com
.org
.net
are not present on their mailing lists. (yes, I know that they are
top-level domains. But that's what they say!).
To be fair though, somebody may have removed (=emptied?) their mailing
lists before I queried on their web page...
Just my 2p...
