From:   awardintl@yahoo.com\r\nSubject: Re: dwan.net domain\r\nDate: April 22, 2005 7:04:08 PM EDT\r\nTo:   f@dm.ts\r\n\r\nHow much is it worth to you....I have paid for it for many years to keep it, what do you offer to buy it?\r\n\r\nFDMTS  wrote:\r\n\r\nHello,\r\n\r\nI'm FDMTS<\/em>. I was searching around and found that you're the \r\nadministrative contact for the internet domain \"dwan.net\". Since you \r\nhaven't done anything with the domain, I'm curious if you would be \r\ninterested in letting my buy out your registration. I already own \r\n\"dwan.org\" and I'm interested in consolidating the others with \"dwan.\" \r\nMy interest is purely personal: It's my last name.\r\n\r\nPlease let me know if this might be possible.\r\n\r\n-FDMTS\r\n<\/pre>\n
To which I said:<\/p>\n
I would pay the remainder of your registration.  The \r\nplace I use charges $35 a year for a domain.  I see that you've registered until \r\nJune of next year.  I would go as high as $50.\r\n\r\nIt's not a business proposition to me, I do not plan to make money off the \r\ndomain.  If you want to keep it, that's up to you.  \r\n\r\nLet me know if you decide you don't want to keep it.  \r\n\r\n-Chris Dwan<\/pre>\n
While I was thinking:  <\/p>\n
You cocky turd!  You've owned that domain since 1999.  \r\n6 years, you've sat on it, with your thumb god-knows-where and now you have the nerve to\r\nmake like it's my problem that you wasted all that time and money?   Yeesh!  You should be \r\ngrateful that I'm talking to you.  Someday, when you're old and gray, you can tell your kids how \r\nI sent you an email one time!  If you can't make use of a domain in SIX YEARS, let someone else \r\ngive it a whirl.<\/pre>\n
Anyway register.com<\/a> kindly offered me these consolation prize domains, since I couldn’t have the ones I wanted.<\/p>\n
orchidwang.com\t\torchidwang.net\t\t\torchidwang.us\r\nlandwants.com\t\t\tlandwants.net\t\t\tlandwants.us\r\ngoodwank.com\t\t\tgoodwank.net\t\t\tgoodwank.us\r\nmindwandering.com\t\t\tmindwandering.net\t\t\tmindwandering.us<\/pre>\n
Excuse me?  “goodwank.com”?  “orchidwang.com”?  I’m sorry, I need to go make myself a nice cup of tea now. <\/p>\n
