Adrian, your dismissive attitude is a whole part of this problem. Makes 
me misread my email headers.

I'm running away from this industry. I've had it. Your short, sharp and 
witless responses display a complete lack of passion and care for what 
you've been entrusted with.

Let me remind you, it's not a natural monopoly. But can you seriously 
benefit from another - what is it - 10,000 names a year? 100,000?

Is that even enough to put on one more employee? Or is the registry fee 
still bankable? On the other hand it's enough to screw up the whole 
namespace and render a whole lot of existing investment worthless.

Maybe if you weren't quite so arrogant, especially in your position, 
people like me wouldn't get so worked up and insist on firing back at 
inappropriate moments, in appropriate manners and circumstances.

I've wasted some 12 years now on you people. You want so sell the farm? 
Fine, sell the farm. I'm moving to the city.
