not those kind, but these kind. the kind that think i'm an idiot (also, the kind that beg for a response).

the email below is also amusing just because someone actually bought that domain for me years ago as a, well, a strange kind of present (that he never actually gave me). and, he never renewed it (thank goodness).

Why would I buy it from you when a) you don't own it already and b) I can buy it myself for 10 bucks?

Hi,

I wondered if you would be interested in buying the .COM version of your domain name bluemekka.net for $195?

Let me know.
Shawn.

Our mutual friend Shawn has now emailed me, wanting to sell the .com domain of which I already own the .us

I found you because I typed his email address into google.

My response to him:

Shawn,

Thanks for the tip, are you a f%#k*n idiot? Why on earth would I purchase a domain which can easily be acquired by anyone from a reputable and certified domain registrar for a fraction of the outrageous sum you propose?

Shawn, here's the secret, if you want to be a successful domain leech. YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE THE ADDRESS FIRST! See, if you OWN the domain, then MAYBE, someone might BUY it from you. Its a difficult concept to understand - I know, but you hang in there and keep trying. If it doesn't work out, you might try a myriad of these other profitable web businesses:

Selling viagra or any other male enhancement pills.
Hawking lower mortgages, interest rates or high-limit credit cards.
Peddling on-line degrees in 2-months, or getting government grants

There's a million of 'em

I know this may come as a shock to you but I am regretfully declining your generous offer.

By the way, I went an registered the domain you offered for $9 and I am now in the envious position of offering it to you for a mere $795,000,000

Let me know.
Jeff
