THE MISSING LINK
DotComGuy turns out to be name dropper

Remember when living off the Net and never leaving the house were considered weird? Back in 2000, a guy legally changed his name to "DotComGuy," turned his Dallas home into a hermitage, and lived off the Internet. We haven't heard much from him since his one-year exile -- until now. Years after the dot-com bubble burst, the DotComGuy is changing his name back to Mitch Maddox and is offering up the DotComGuy.com domain. Why did he let go of the name that gave him 15 minutes of fame? Two words: Mrs. DotComGuy. (AFP)
