I won't get into the spam discussion here. Spam is annoying, for
sure, but so is junk mail and telemarketing. It's just something you
have to learn to live with.
But the fact is that domain speculators and resellers are not scum,
and are in fact signs of a healthy market in the internet economy, as
speculators and traders are in other markets.
What is annoying for some is that they can't get names they want at
the lowest possible price. My answer is that first come first served
works, and anything beyond that you expect to pay market value for,
and that's not always the cheapest price.
That nice corner lot on Main St. will never be as cheap as the one a
block off on a side street.
This is also a good argument for continuing expansion of the
namespace.
