I see you have 3 domain names and no business...
I can't resist pointing to the discussions on the list that suggests that a
person should not register a domain name unless prior use business activity
supports the name choice! I don't support this idea, but there are others
on the list that have suggested this concept. I am glad that you are not
frightened off by this silly behavior. Individual rights will prevail over
simple business ideas, I believe.
