Something Fishing Going on at the Free Name a Galaxy Web Site
Something fishy’s going on at the free name a galaxy web site, which appeared on the internet several years ago as direct competition to the name a galaxy service our observatory offers as fund raising for astronomical research (we existed, in fact, before name a star). In addition to asking for no payment when someone names a galaxy, the free name a galaxy web site owner openly criticizes the donation we ask for. Our competitor offers, for no charge, a computer-generated certificate that must be published at one’s own cost. The “fee” that he criticized is a donation towards the cost of astronomical research that we conduct at our observatory. The no-charge address a galaxy web site presents an individual nothing but an automatic computer program that puts out the information that is typed into a web page form. But, there’s a catch. This free name a galaxy website commands a person enter a name and e-mail address, even though all that is ever emailed to the registrant is a code that is inessential to the registration. Why is this? One can presume that the free name a galaxy site is the work of a a spammer who is gathering up e-mail addresses and reselling them to a third party.
The publisher of this free name a galaxy website mentions that he has no aim to sell e-mail addresses. But what is his intent? Why would he steal our name a galaxy invention and create a no-charge galaxy naming web site? If he’s not gathering e-mail addresses for spammers, then perchance he’s just a mean individual. Our phone number is distinctly published on our web site, but his is not. So this renders it impracticable to call him to ask him what he is up to.
