This means that they are not available in Sunrise A even though I own the top level domains. They MAY be up for auction in November (but they MAY NOT), or we can wait for Landrush in December if someone else didn't already get them or if the registry actually decide to release them at all!

I don't feel bad for you, but it does suck that you got screwed. At least you were only trying to buy the .xxx version of your .com and not speculating. If you felt tricked into thinking you needed to buy the .xxx of your domain then that is your misguided decision to make.
Obviously if janeyweb is a "premium name" then any name is. No offense, but JaneyWeb isn't exactly premium or sort after. This would mean that ICM lied to everyone yet again (big surprise) just because you own the .com doesn't mean you will have first shot at your domain much less will you pay normal registration fees if you were to actually get it. For all you know they can put it to auction and then have shill bidders drive up the price you would have to pay.
Just think of the people who actually do have good one or two word generic keyword domains, those people are fucked. All of those will go up to auction and will be sold to the highest bidder. What a bunch of lies ICM told everyone.
The icing on the cake is that you pay the "deposit" and then you lose your money when you did everything according to what they were saying. I really hope that fat piece of shit Stuart gets ass rapped by someone over all this bullshit.
