I was using bw.org then, and I'm using it now. It's my primary personal domain. My home page is there. Someone had made me an offer. It wasn't enough for me to want to sell it. I wanted to see if I could get more or should just continue using it. The best offer I got was for $12,000. I decided to keep the domain name. George, I apologize if my lack of a reply offended you. I'm not saying that the owner of bearheart.com is bad, just that they are using the system for something other than what it was intended for. For many years the domain didn't even have DNS. Now it has an SEO page. Businesses that register thousands of domain names for strictly speculative purposes are operating outside the rules of the system. They are also, arguably, polluting the namespace and preventing others from using it for its intended purpose. Personally, I think that's a bad thing -- it's counter to what I think the Internet is good for. --B --- - Home <http://bw.org/> | Whois <http://whois.bw.org/> - Music <http://music.bw.org/> | Blog <http://blog.bw.org/> - Gimme back my email! <http://amtp.bw.org/> ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ No electrons were harmed in the production of this message. _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
