Just curious!

Who owns your .CA lastname?

Mine is owned by an insurance company, never going to get it!

Since the late 90s I've been bugging a real estate agent that was using my last name to buy it from him. He was using the on.ca extension so I was asking him permission to use the .ca direct but he didn't care. Couple years ago after one of my best sale, I was going to contact him again with a really good offer and realized it was available. I couldn't believe it and now uses it for all my emails and plan on setting up a personal site eventually. Now I'm trying to get the .com but it doesn't look good, Rover.com owns it.

Wow I am quite impressed by the number of people who have caught their names or at lease tried to! Good stuff, and some good stories too!

The .com is owned by a winery and likely won't be dropped and the .ca is parked.

I really should work on getting the .ca, though.
