Your only "point" is to aggravate Pro owners. You told me that you made the same observations and comments on other extensions. That doesn't appear to be true. Within the past few months your target extension has been Pro.
I don't understand why other people on this forum react to you ... respond to you. Your credibility has dropped off the scale. You are the Grinch of Proville.

well, you must understand because you responded. this is a tired argument... its a domain name forum where people talk about all things domains.
here is the problem: half of the people think each individual thread on the domain forums is a "separate little world" and cant understand why anyone that doesnt own these kind of domains would want to participate. the other half realize this is a general domain name forum and thats where the interest comes from. just because you're interested in something doesnt mean you support it. cannot be stated any clearer than that.
one more thing - this type of "MOM GET OUT OF MY ROOM" talk looks weak to lurkers/guests.. it looks like you have no counterpoints when you do this and it makes for very uninteresting thread reading.
<edit>
also, i own one .pro domain so i am entitled to make this post.

early morning coffee rant, extended edition:
you can think more clearly if you stop being an "enthusiast" and work on becoming a realist. you dont owe loyalty to a TLD.
okay different topic - as somebody who is not a .pro "enthusiast" i decided to take a look at all the new gTLD applications one by one.. when you consider TLD length, how the TLD sounds when you say it (radio test), the generic/universal nature of the word -- .PRO is looking pretty good even stacked up against the first round of 1,900 new gTLD's where people had their pick of the most generic of generic words.
that doesnt really mean a whole lot on its own though - like trying to get the world to love your favorite underground band as much as you do. your reasons may be valid and they're probably better sounding than that crap they (used to) play on MTV but that doesnt eventually mean they'll "hit it big." some great sounding bands stay underground forever. that said, .PRO does have a head start if this new gTLD race ends up meaning anything years down the road.
its funny - most domainers are against new TLD's but an overwhelming number say "oh but .web might have a chance".... why? what sort of leap in logic is this? i dont think .web sounds terrible but that alone is a ridiculous reason to single it out as "having a chance."
the question of "why" is actually rhetorical - i know the answer and so does everyone else if they stop to think: some of the big domainers have said .web may have a chance and the parrots and followers keep repeating. i like reading the big domainers' blogs too but the idea is to catch the flavor of what they're saying - not follow in the exact same footsteps.
by the way, on the topic of having "too much time on your hands." file me into this category. although it isnt always such a bad thing - you can be more thoughtful with a lot of time on your hands.. you can also become more blind and bitter to other peoples thoughts that do not jive with yours.
ok bye.. im riding my bike down to the beach (but maybe thats code for sitting here all day...)
