Yay! There was some "rant, rant, rant" after I asked counsel to pursue the domain. I don't recall what prompted me to look, but it was when I saw a "parked 'for sale'" sign that I brought the issue up. I don't know the order between counsel serving notice, and the domain being renewed and stuck back to it's 8+ year-old "Coming soon", but glad that's done with now.
