In one sense I totally agree. We lost nothing. HE lost his property. But in another I do not agree. While Todd has no obligation to anyone to keep his domains owned, I did *indeed* suffer a loss when Fibblesnork went away. I lost time I would rather have spent somewhat differently going through my sites and cleaning them. It was rather time consuming as the link was on every page. I expect the lost time on the part of (a lot of) others was significant too. So be it. The time was lost. Oh well. It's just like it was a natural disaster, not trying to say it's Todd's FAULT, because as I said, he has no obligation to anyone. ANY link we have could go stale the same way, with the same lost time if it was that pervasive. But my proposal is in the nature of insurance against lost time in the future. My time is valuable. If I had known that Fibblesnork was going to go away and I could have at that time put in 5 bucks to stop it, it would have been worth it. I spent more than 1 minute on fixing the links, and that's what my time is worth to me, 5 bucks a minute. Well, I exaggerate slightly, I don't actually get paid that much. At least I don't SEE that much of the pay anyway. But even if my time was only worth 5 bucks an HOUR it still was a win because I actually spent more than an hour on the cleanup. Now maybe we already suffered the biggest loss with fibblesnork because that was the most pervasive. AucZILLA is mentioned on maybe a dozen of my pages at most. Much less pervasive. Maybe no other nameloss can cause as much wasted effort for the community and the effort of watching is too high for the benefit. I dunno. Just musing here. Helps explain?
