I think Person's realized the domain was just the anchor - the real money was
in supporting the domain with hosting and all the other stuff they sell.
Parson's - or should I say all the smart folks he surrounded himself with
institutionalized the domain and hosting industry.
He is like the McDonald's of domains and hosting.
Now nothing I have said means I agree with how he runs his business nor do I
agree with how he treats his people.
I just saying his business model is something to study and learn from.

um smoke crack much....
In the end Godaddy is the wal-mart of registrars. You don't go there because
they are the best at what they do, you go because they are the cheapest at what
they do. I am not aware of any other registrar that will sell you a $1 domain
name. If someone else does let me know and I will be happy to use em. I don't
use any of their up-sells but I usually buy my domains there because they are
dirt cheap.
As far as the old "antidote" When their head security cant secure his own crap
legal or not then I would suspect he can't secure others. If he is in the
driver seat of the team I would assume he is what they consider their "smartest
choice"
As we have seen lately script kiddies are taking down big
multinational corporations so all around I would say the state of security over
all is crap.

Steven,
Everyone "projects" onto others what they feel themselves at first onion
layer. Some of us can identify our feelings (jealousy, or another of the 7
deadlies) and extract gossip from fact to understanding of process and duties
in technical professions and shops.
At GoDaddy.com ticket hockey is a large part of most of the jobs, requiring a
specific type of conformist.
Their top linux people and developers are deeply involved; they allow little
creative thought or engineering direction from the mass of employees.
It's their culture. Unfortunately GoDaddy.com has dropped in the hosting
rankings over the last few years, perhaps due to inability to innovate, poor
support for common users, and management shakeups.

James, that's a strange conclusion to draw from one (years old) anecdote.
