Two terms are starting to piss me off; Resellers - Does anyone sell a name to begin with? No. The right to use it is as close as you can come, like a super bowl seat. You do not own the seat you merely get to use it for a few hours or in domain names maybe years. It ain't no fee simple absolute that you could mortgage. You can sell your ticket but you cannot sell the seat. And how much is the seat worth with no game? Can anyone say Brooklyn Bridge? (although I have negotiated some loans and VC based upon the value of names- shame on me)
Global TLD - Some Bozo over at NSI coined the term as opposed to Generic. Well that is just some loser pollywog, lawyer type abusing language to suggest that other TLDs are not global. And besides that, does it mean an intranet type global or a physical real world global? I like to laugh at my card which says Global Internet Strategist, only techies get the silliness of the phrase. If a guy takes my card serious then I don't take him serious. E "Ross Wm.
