Well my post was really in jest.  goatse.cx hasn't existed for years.  If
you really want to know what was there (and you really don't) just do a
quick search for goatse.  I'm sure there is a Wikipedia entry for it.

However, the point of my post that it really is a dumb idea for someone to
point their domain at your domain name servers if they aren't a customer.
You really do gain much control over the domain in such a situation.
