Fact: You participated in an auction for a domain name.
Fact: Brandon inquired.
Fact: My reply is dead-fucking-on. He had the same chance as you did, if he was willing to pay more for the name than you did.

I used to buy thousands of names. I'm not as competitive with my own members as you are. At http://www.clickmojo.com/ they can find data that is much more useful. I am around on ICQ or Email almost always, answering questions and helping manipulate data into custom formats that most of my users request. I won't over hype it. I don't promise them great names. I try to make sure they know how the game will be played so they're not feeling deceived when they realize the BEST names are almost always going to mean they have to compete for them and be willing to pay more than others are, including you.

If I'm being misleading in what I'm posting in any way, please point it out to me.
now that explains it finally - thank you - this last week was like that movie where tom cruise is questioning jack nicholson and gets the truth out. you have been dancing all around this and i am glad you finally showed your true colors. it does not change anything except now i see your motivations in the light. with all due respect, your assertions that we compete unfairly or that anyone is deceived are unfounded. we give webmasters much more credit for being intelligent than you do with those comments/assumptions. you speak in the first person - but let me assure you that we echo the same best practices and customize data for our customers as well as respecting their privacy. the fact that you are now less competitive is a pretty soft way of saying that you buy domains too.
