I plan on buying an acre or 2 out east of AJ or North of Scottsdale - way out so in 10 or 15 years I can build on it. Does that make me a scumbag? If I can the inclination to speculate on real estate I'd do it in a heartbeat, with no worries. I follow your reasoning on domains, and I have already justified it to myself pretty well. I have come across no ethical or moral problems with it. But I'll only get into that market if and when I can make the nagging feeling go away. I think it may stem from something you said about the housing market. You got angry because of speculators driving the prices up. This is probably what feels wrong to me about domains: making someone angry. Yet it wouldn't bother me in real estate, so why should it in virtual estate? Perhaps you've helped me with my problem. :) -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group dwchandler@stilyagin.com | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
