domain guessing [was] [X4U] Leopard Issues

[Konrad Waibel]

this behavior began for me in July 2005 when I subscribed to Charter  
Cable.  I was using 10.2.8/Safari [?].  Still happens to me now using  
10.4.11/Safari 3.0.4 and Charter.  I assumed, and still do, this was  
something programmed by Charter directing me to their page to make  
more money from their advertisers.
