[thechat] domain name purchasing

[spinhead]

Wait endlessly, checking every couple hours to see if it comes back on the
radar. I believe the registrars have pretty complete control over
when/whether a domain goes back on the market. Some are coming up with
schemes to use this uncertainty to bilk more money out of us.

I waited for a non-renewed domain name for 5 months after it expired,
checking daily. Then, one day it was renewed. No option to get it. They
actually held in un-renewed for 5 months.

> Heard on the London Underground (at Mill Hill East):
> "Hello this is xxx speaking, I am the captain of your train, and we will
be departing shortly, we will be cruising at an altitude of approximately
zero feet, and our scheduled arrival time in Morden is 3:15pm. The
temperature in Morden is approximately 15 degrees celsius, and Morden is in
the same time zone as Mill Hill east, so there's no need to adjust your
watches."
