Love the Casablanca clip and rare appearance by JB. Berryhill’s comments can be an asset to any domain blog. Wish he’d take more time away from writing those Nigerian letters so he could contribute more. (as Michael Jackson says in This Is It, “this comes only from a place of love”)

“…Plus, Merlin Kauffman sobered up, reached puberty, and realized he didn’t want to bid as high as he did the first time either…”

ROFLMAO:

The Domain Pope strikes again:

“If my aunt had testicles, she’d be my uncle, but it just didn’t work out that way.”

““First Class Action” is not clear as to whether it is a “first class” action or a “first” class action.”

Thank you John I really really needed the laughs..

I agree that the settlements offered are likely more than one would get through a class action suit. The release attached to that is absurd though as it releases them from all fraud -past and future – no shit, read it.

But the bottom line is this… Before I’m going to be able to trust anything or anyone at SnapNames ever again, I want to see some outside authority fully investigate this scam. Oversee should want this too… Sorry, but it seems all too convenient to point to the “single gunman” theory, especially in light of the fact that the shill bidding actions were raising revenue for the entire company. Follow the money and it does not lead you to Nelson.

Without an investigation into this from outside either Oversee or SnapNames, I doubt full confidence will ever be even partially restored.

A “class action” is a very complex proceeding. Any attorney who does this type of work can tell you that the expense and time to put together a class action is tremendous. the “class” must be certified by the court as being all persons affected in some way by the action, must be homogenious in the nature of damages and must provide for an opt-out provision for those who do not wish to be part of the action, but rather bring their own action. This just scrapes the surface of the time and energy that must be put in to succeed.

That is definitely one interesting way to look at it, Bill.

At the end, I think everyone is a loser except Halvarez. Because everyone still refering to him as “Halvarez”, including myself. Half the people won’t make the connection to “Nelson Brady” especially those not in the domain space.

You guys are all, and I mean ALL FOOLS.

You should thank “Halvarez”, drop your knees open wide and thank him the only way mouth wide open and eyes looking up can!

He has been raising prices for domains for the last 4 years, 1 guy has raise this XX industry percentage points!

Think about it. Your domains are worth more because of him. If anything he helped you all get the true value of your domains.

I think “Halvarez” should be domainer of the year!

It was either that or “Toonz put down the bong”.

By the way, the headline “First Class Action” is not clear as to whether it is a “first class” action or a “first” class action.
