Yup.  They've been busy registering dropped-letter variants of many
folks.  All the zones I've looked at are merely wildcard A records, not
purposeful hosts.  I was sorely disappointed that 
http://www.americaoffline.com/ contains no references to malicous nor 
humourous stuff.  Personally, I was hoping for large-scale lampooning.

Nothing at the real provider's home base, INSTANET.COM, reveals anything
of interest.  Some kook thinking he can auction off typo domains?
