Subject: WEBSTER, WHY I MISSED OUT ON CHANDELIERS.NET & CHANDELIER.NET

Message:
 

 
Webster,

I started looking for a generic domain name long after CHANDELIER/S.COM and .NET were taken.  Like I previously stated, I am not a big-time internet junkie.  I merely own a chandelier company.
My company's website wasn't built until November '99.  By no stretch of the imagination could I be considered a domain name speculator.
I'm not that smart.  However, I am smart enough (about the chandelier business) to know that owning CHANDELIERS.WEB will be a great positive for my business ... a real plus.   Why do you begrudge a small business owner, such as myself, for buying a marketing tool that will help me compete?  I hope ICANN doesn't also begrudge small business owners such as myself.  From what I read about Ken Stubbs,
I don't think he's on the side of small business.  I think he's in the pocket of the Afilias conglomerate, completely bought and paid for.
