I've answered that offlist, since nuking spammers may not be on-topic
here.

In the process, thougfh, I visited www.nsi-direct.com. I knew they
were up to some fairly sleazy things, like spamming and selling whois
info to marketers, but ...

What I found seems much worse:

     Don't settle for your second choice domain. Find your
     first choice in our catalog of more than 2 million
     pre-registered domains for sale. 

As I read that, they are hoarding domains in a horrendous way.
