great article. I particularly liked how the author painted domaining as a real business rather than a get-rich-quick scheme or cyber-squatting scam.

Tommy Butler is a smart business man and a really decent fellow. I've had the pleasure of hanging with him at several domain conferences, and was impressed by his business savvy.

There are some other domain investors in Scotland that are less well known, but are nevertheless indicative of a entrepreneurial spirit alive and well from "Alba".
