While it is true that there has been some abuse of the system that has led
to the more restrictive practices, drawing the line is becoming an artform
that I for one am glad not to have to learn.

 The ones that annoy me are those that register an RBN specifically for a
domain name, "Well," they say, "its only an extra $90.."

 I have recently had a couple of applications knocked back by net.au for not
having an RBN or ACN. Its a bit hard when the applicants are Govt or
community bodies.

 Still I am sure that if sufficient explaination is tendered then they
should be allowable.

 I am finding that a lot of companies now are tending to ignore the .au
domains  and going straight to internic if they are having trouble.

 It sort of defeats the purpose IMHO.
