Wow, 74 votes and not a single comment? Funny that almost everyone voting that has no avatar started their accounts the same week, many the same day...

I was old enough and was knowledgable enough, given that I was in the business back then. But, I was so addled by the inertia rendered of domestic and partnership strife (wife was my business partner) that I watched opportunity after opportunity pass us by.

I'll be curious to find out who actually ends up owning the domain name in the end. But I wish that I had known about this opportunity back in the day. For a paltry $20 a year to make millions? Good for him.
