  1. @steviepock - virtually all single-word domains are taken. Even if some of them are 'forced' to drop them, others are ready to take 'em.
  2. @DomainSkate - the respondent didn't seemingly ask for it, though. I gather some panelists just focus on the issue at hand and that's it.

  14. @Domaindotcom - understood. Thanks!
  15. @selamefekili - I also realize you may be bitter at unable to get what you want. Me, I either find a way or do prayer of serenity. /@hover
  16. @selamefekili - everyone has 'right' or shot to reg apple.com if ever. Only some have more resources to get an edge. /@hover
  17. @selamefekili - w/ DNs, one person registers, pays and puts an org as owner where org is 'owned' by several people. /@rossrader
  18. @selamefekili - renewed someone else's lease you had no "right" to or wasn't yours to begin with?
  19. @owenborseth - heh, it's one thing to understand. It's totally another to accept or agree with. It happens.
  20. @Berkens - and counting!
