LLLL.com: I’ve written about domain name security in the past and what to look for in a domain name registrar.

LLLL.com: Another silly thread on Namepros about the new domain name extensions: the future is often a coin toss for even the sharpest domainers… Why do new domainers so often think they know the answer? And why is the answer always the exact opposite of what the large majority of more senior domainers are saying? And
