Wow, what a crock. It's like the IRS saying it doesn't have a monopoly on federal taxes because there are other countries besides the USA. Jackasses. Although I have traded the stock at various time over the years and made money, so maybe I should simmer down a little. Still, I don't like monopolists telling me they are not monopolists... it's insulting... they're basically calling us stupid if they say that and expect us to believe it.

They think that if the site takes off they can always buy the more expensive domain they want. But Topix.net is a good example of why this is a bad strategy.
