I remember several years ago at a dntrade meet up, someone claimed to have seen a .melbourne being used on a billboard.

Very hard to know if myth or real.

That is funny, at the end of the day he'll receive the "education" courtesy of an out of control credit card statement and an angry wife.

I wonder how many names he has registered himself, must be a lot to embark on this mission.

One think I have found with domain it is generally impossible and pointless to try and "educate" consumers, it is actually the industry that needs to listen to what people want. Like trying to sell blueberry ice cream when everyone asks for chocolate.

i've found consistently in my life of SALES ( i was a paper boy at 11yr ) that there are 2 completely different things:
selling and marketing.
selling is trying to give someone something they don't want and marketing is finding out first what they want and providing it, it doesn't take to much effort to see what works best ! the end result is still a sale.
if you stick to that sentence you'll do ok IMO

I wont say his name but this guy was also a bit dark on the Uber industry due to the fact he was in the Limo business and losing clients to those pesky Uber folk
