More grist for the mill -- why and how domaining hurts small business and
entrepreneurs, and how it extracts value rather than adds:

All you domain speculators who fancy yourselves marketing experts and are
camped out in NARALO because, I would guess,  no other constituency will
have you .... your turn. I see that some have already posted lame rebuttals
on CircleID, read them and have a chuckle. (It's still noteworthy that
nobody I know in ICANN-land defends the practice except those with direct
financial interest in it.)

(And thank you to the kind NARALO member who found the article, figuring
that I might have more fun posting it here than they would. You're probably
right.)

Disclosure: I have never accepted money from AT&T or any other telco or ISP
for that matter. My shitty mobile provider won't even give me a decent
discount, but the others are no better. I did win a T-shirt a few years ago
from SiriusXM, does that count?
