The situation I have is that I own the domain names 

http://www.chopstix.co.uk/ and http://www.chopstix.net/ and I've building 

Chopstix as a web brand for two years. The chap who owns 

http://www.chopstix.com/ hasn't ever replied to any e-mails I've sent him 

and I already know that some visitors head for his url by mistake and are 

thrown by the vague "closed down" message on his holding page (that has 

existed for two years).


The major problem comes should he finally do anything with the domain that 

is similar to what Chopstix does.


All the best,
