		<description>Frank -

Not sure where to post this but wanted to share this and ask a general question:

WHY? WHY? WHY? Is ICANN permitted to cyber-squat on the single letter domains?  This to me is BULL$HIT!!!  They ARE squatting - this is Cyber-land thus making them a CYBER-SQUATTER!!!

I recently inquired for the 15th billion time (rough # probably in the double digits actually) - as to WHY I am not allowed to purchase a single letter domain - HOWEVER - Paypal/Ebay owns &quot;x.com&quot; and Nissan owns &quot;z.com&quot;  this is F&#039;ing crap!

They wrote back to me and stated that they cannot release those unless under certain circumstances.  Um so that means I have to be ebay or nissan or some other giant corporation powerhouse to get my hands on one of those?

Personally put them out on auction - that&#039;s fair.  Let someone or everyone including the big companies have their day to bid on these fair and straight up instead of reserving these for the select few - becuase that&#039;s what&#039;s going on here - IMO!!!

I mean I wrote back becuase i want to know what constitutes a &quot;special circumstance&quot; - i will never hear back from them - ever.  I was surprised that they wrote back once.

This whole thing just sits wrong with me.  I mean I look at this as nothing more than trying to control (like the mafia does) and play favorites to big business/corporations.  Yet they judge and rule against people like the face-book.com people or any others that you can go and look up on the site... i mean it&#039;s classic bull$hit.

In my opinion - people there at that organization need to serve time - seriously - in the big house.  They are doing nothing short or different than your common criminals/thugs.

Just figured I&#039;d rant a bit about this - it really made me mad.  I&#039;m no big investor either - just a guy that sorta likes to dabble as a side hobby and keep up - but fair is fair across the board.
