Sure, Lee, you're generally right, of course, and I never for a moment believed those silly "appraisals."
I love short domains myself, and have some great four-and five-character ones I am reluctant to offer for sale, but sometimes just having a memorable or descriptive name does work. It can also work with some effect with search engines, and can always be made to point to a real site with a punchier, but perhaps less descriptive, name. IMHO. Best, Frank Frank J.
