Yup I agree with you on everything, just wondering where this will go, then on the other hand, xxx is probably going to be the last TLD extension, I think they covered everything by now. That's why I decided to bite the bullet as well. I will reconsider the 12 domains though after reading what OP came up with in this thread. Maybe I'll limit to 4 and for the remaining 8 I will wait and try to get them after the landrush. I don't care that much about the money but I prefer to avoid getting screwed. I can get quite emotional about things like that, even if it's only about $100 and I want to be smiling with x-mas, not crying
