 Kidding aside, yes I believe the day is over according to when the day was decreed. Maybe we can work out some sort of collective bargaining agreement?  | ||||

| It is hard to be wrong for so long. There has to be some merit in it. No...seriously, even if I disagree sometimes, it is always interesting to hear a totally different view to the prevailing one. It helps us to notice we may be missing something... |

I guess it all depends on where you sit.. Back when I started buying .mobis, the consensus was that only mobile-relevant names were worth registering. I went against that trend and am now the proud owner of ~100 dictionary word .mobis with 200+ WT, despite having gotten into the game in February 07. I have no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't be able to have the names I do today for what I bought my first ones for back then.. I realized that people might be interested in buying things on their phones -- not merely searching for sport scores, gambling, music, ringtones, sex, et cetera. From where I stand today, the early-on skeptics were helpful. They no doubt convinced others that .mobi wasn't worth investing in, that only generics like sports.mobi, ringtones.mobi, and the 5000 others held by mtld would be worth anything for the most part, other than the few that mtld forgot to reserve, that names which weren't mobile-related would never be worth anything,... This in turn led to more names being available when I got involved than might otherwise be. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=380043 Was I going to attack these guys, call them fools, n00bs, idiots,.. for not realizing that .mobi had more potential than to be used for our stereotypical applications? Now why would I do that I just went about quietly registering as many good quality non-mobile names as I could. Looking back, I think I'm alot better off with a name like sucralose.mobi (Mar 21 reg) than I'd ever be with onlinesportscores.mobi, although if I would have asked for opinions on it, people probably would have told me that onlinesportscores.mobi had more potential back then... So the skeptics do have a purpose, and have been very helpful to some of us in acquiring names that might have been beyond our reach otherwise. For those still shopping for names.. Don't hate Jeff, praise him. For he may get you a BigJugs.mobi for Xx Quick Sale, you never know

I actually think Jeff will be soaking up the plaudits. However i have a secret vision of Sir.Jeff I think he lives a Hugh Heffner style existence, he is probably in a bath full of warmed asp's milk with 3 nubiles, all caressing him. However like Hugh, he probably doesn't do the sex thing anymore, he would be 'in' the np forum via his pda. From there tightly controlling his 'ecosystem'. For me he's never worn turd spectacles really, he would be wearing Elvis style gold shades and a red velvet dressing gown after the bath. Jeff, if you're there, remeber you are that leg-end.  Shall we msake this an annual thread? Jeff day/  | ||||

| Jeff has been a great NP member and staffperson for awhile now. I fondly remember the RapidJeff bot, and want to acknowledge his many positive contributions to Namepros. (The bot's not jeff's) Did I miss "Let's All Throw Rotten Produce at Jeff Day"? Awww shucks. |

To test your theory we probably need a good script through which to run all pro-mobi postis in order to turn them into images containing the same text but with captcha-type distortions. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=380043 If that reduces Jeff's daily post average over a period of say a week, we should send you lots of NP bucks for being so remarkably prescient.

| Time after Time
Are you conveying here to us the audacity to suggest that this man is actually a matrix like computer on the way up to the higher realms of existence.. who is actually calculating in a time ahead in our "present" time.. in a time in between the seconds.. computing faster than any lifeform thinks.. in a harmony with the aliens  .. being bluetoothed  as a representative to humanity for us here.. and in fact the second law of thermodynamics has reached the flipping point whereby we are now moving closer to the Source, finally?! Kind Regards, Yelo
