Don't worry, you talk about your frustration quite politely :) And it is totally justified. This is why I think something needs to be done now. Yes, it's rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic, but some people are still trying to survive. As a new member, what do you think about these ideas? Would it be good to make addresses untransferable? Or keep them transferable but ask the NCC to impose a one-time merger&acquisition fee? Or any other way? What would be ok for your real internet business but not for address sellers?
