| Re: .US Outrage
Dear lord, lots of sour grapes going on. Drops have always been a matter of finding information, paying attention, and trying your luck at it. That's how I got some of my great names back in 1996, that's how I got others in 2000, and because I haven't been paying attention lately why I haven't picked up any in the last year. Rewards go to the people who invest their time and play it smart, simple as that.
If you think that there should have been billboards on every major highway, sorry, doesn't that way. Frankly, dropping them like this is a whole hell of a lot more fair than auctioning them off or making a big production out of it. Real people could get them this way. If they end up in the hands of pros it's because they paid good money to the people who registerred them, not because they bribed the registry.
And some of the values for these names being tossed around are sheer fantasy. IT's like they've never heard of a real sale. These are .us names, for crying out loud, and the prices being quoted are basically .com level ones (and sometimes unrealistic even there).
Some people here need to take a chill pill and get some perspective instead of throwing tantrums and embarassing themselves with half-witted accusations. I respect the people who admitted they missed out because they were ignorant, too bad others want to advertise their ignorance and escalate it to a new level.
