Raise the stakes for them, and you'll find that they'll be more inclined to make a living some other way. The current model costs them absolutely -nothing-, a zero-cost marketplace for speculators. I have -no- problem with a "payment up front" requirement. I'd hope that anyone serious about doing real domain management would be willing to pay in advance. -- Edward S.
