"allegedly one or more of the domains some have purchased were removed for them or rather 'auctioned' elsewhere while they were still owned years ago to the very place[s] which were using their original birth given names as url re-direct to other companies already protected by the two year 'co. status'[this singular statement could be looked at neutrally] - ie: an 'upright above boards business or company should be able to own it's own intellectual property and name/domain name'. as 2011 some of these lost urls/domain names read as an internal error 404. this is the tip of a huge seemingly inanimate elephant in the iceberg room and if it [was me] i would have had nothing to do it. 'auctioned' would be a key word in this statement and nothing innocent 'auctioned off' unwillingly with 'possible' malice has ever been a good thing- even if the 1st to 3rd party is claiming simple ignorance or neutrality." however i am not really that smart and would have never seen any of this coming. lesson learned. things could have been worse fro some it wasn't for others. how to make things better is the question now. it is good to be alive. i have never worked for the co. mentioned in this poll, if it matters.
