>One day his 7:15 AM tech research leads John to      discover new TLDs that are pending, and he decides      to put his research to some good, and invests in a few .webs      for development one day.< Except he misses the part that .web isn't a 'pending' TLD in any legal sense (this was before the courts, so why he missed it is a mystery). Then he and other .web owners go on an ICANN message board and argue in favor of their non-disclosed self-interest.   >PHIL:      * At 8:10 he dashes out the door to go to work.< He's a lawyer. Today he'll find out who registered business.web and other names that mirror existing sTLDs so he's one happy camper.       d_d@email.com - email without ICANN in Subject: line is blocked
