What a bunch of crap!

[Antoinette Powell]

O.K. I'm seething with resentment at losing out on that domain. Then again, 
if the guys in their garage are better than SnapNames, I can perhaps get an 
iota of revenge by letting you know that it was http://www.DropWizard.com 
that succeeded where SnapNames did not. Besides, I don’t know how to make a 
voodoo doll of SnapNames to stick pins in. BTW, for the 3 domains you got 
through SnapNames, were they obscure? I’d lay a bet that there was no real 
competition for them and that you probably could have got them by manually 
submitting your registration request at the stroke of midnight or whenever 
it is that these things expire. Personally, I’m warming to the idea of 
making up words. I guess “eBay” has already been taken, but I’m sure that I 
can make up words that are just as good.
