Tough call, and lost of interesting suggestions. For my $.02 , I might reply and suggest that I "MAY" have had made a mistake on copyright infringement of the Volkswagen Trademark. Make amends, then offer the fact that VWoA did not secure the owenrship of the Domain name. Suggest that maybe "we" could come to some sort of conclusion to the matter by "transferring" the domain License to VWoA for a small nominal fee. I would also tell them that this is an effort for you to recoup money invested in support of their "Fine Products". This will allow you the funds necessary to update all of the cost of web design, administration fees, and the like needed to re-open your site. I'm sure "The MAN" can identify with the growing expense of "e-commerce" and its value to "BIG BUSINESS". If you don't choke on coughing up all this BS, you might get a little cash out of the deal and "The MAN" off your back. You will catch more flies with honey, than salt. Oh yea, Vanagon Content. "I think VWoA is great."
