I've said it before and I'll say it again. Anything done to make life
harder on speculators is a good idea!
I may be a non-automated shop (and by choice too!), but I think a random
date at least gives me somewhat of a chance.
IF the damn speculators were to hit at exactly the moment (30 days, for
example) that the domain was relased, the non-automated person is screwed
anyway.
I just don't see why we should bend over to a bunch of jerks out to make a
quick buck!
Speculators really irritate me (and as a matter of policy, I do not do
business with clients who have that intent) because they're basically
abusing the system. And I'm fed up.
