***FS*** You never know who you’ll meet in an elevator Charles..  I met Larry King once in an elevator at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills (Regent Beverly).  I think you were very clever to list on a London exchange.  Most domain portfolios derive a fairly large quantity of their traffic volume from International traffic..  and those same portfolios undermonetize that traffic (that vast majority of my revenues come from North American Market traffic even though less than 50% of my visitors come from there).  That latent value, coupled with the fact that London is quickly becoming the financial center for new public offerings leads me to believe that you made a shrewd move. Good luck as march down the acquisition path sir.. I hope you buy some good ones.
