WWW domain naming system patented by a lawyer

I believe a company had tried to claim ownership of a Hypertext patent once. This one is similar.

"Method, apparatus and business system for online communications with
online and offline recipients"

& here is the lawyer putting his shiny new patent to good work.

Network Solutions, Register.com Face Lawsuit

"USPTO grants Calif. lawyer patent over entire WWW naming scheme
How could Albert Einstein have ever been one of these cretins?"

That should be revoked. It's one of those "obvious" things you just shouldn't be able to patent.
