Nicely put.
No slur intended on those that operate their domain names in a stamp-collection fashion. forever swapping, buying at £15 here selling at $25 there. Reading some of the outright requests for "positive trader feedback" for mentioning an available unregistered domain - tells you there is a bit of "facebook" friend collecting mentality - But Hey "what-ever floats your boat" .
I can't imagine for one minute that those that have delt successfully with domains for any length of time aren't extremely grateful for the opportunity or have any great motivation to plaster their story all over the net either.
And those that are doing ok - it still can be an ongoing learning exercise. Thats the whole point in any type of enterprise, If it were that simple everyone and their mother would be at it, but it isin't and they aren't.
The real tragedy in domains and indeed development is those that don't learn from their mistakes or know how to attribute their successes. Some of the comments made you learn to identify with those that haven't been around for that long - Nothing wrong with that we all started somewhere. I just quietly laugh when they're presented as points of fact.
The individuals that consistently over-price their domains tend to be those that have gone with the wrong type of domain in the first place, ie their whole model is not substainable. Self delusion (at the outset) about why a domain has value or indeed where it's outlet is likely to be, is part of the learning curve. and should be in all our history at some point in time.
