I'm heartened you feel this way, ed. What good is a forum if it was full of brown-nosed yes men? Why should any of us be in a forum where the sole purpose is to kowtow to popular opinion? If you need that safety blanket, you can easily buy that in the corner store. Where then will we learn to see the future before it happens? The only constant is change. And on the internet, radical change happens every 12 months. ICANN is already preparing for a new onslaught of gTLDs by end 2004. So we all chorus, let in come, let in come, .COM will be even better with all this "confusion". Duh? Tell that to Sony Walkman.
Pod was banned on domainstate.com because he chose to share his time and voice his thoughts. Touche, to each his own. In my mind, he never overstepped any boundaries of personal insults, but was put into the selfish paradigm of the judge and jury of the PoliceState.com.
Pod has taught me one thing - touche, to each his own. And I thank him for showing me, even convincing me sometimes, why it is so easy to fall into the trap of the comfort zone.
Yeah, today I'm a big buyer of specific .COMs and my next purchase in the coming month will need to hit $5k to secure (bludy hell), but I am thankful to pod for pushing and pushing the boundaries on other extensions. Global reach, local touch, personal feel - is dedicated to him.
