Domain names are basically ethereal goods that arguably (and apparently) have marketability or, presumably, these onlione newsletters, conferences and other accoutrements wouldn't happen. Be that as it may: I invite you and your readers to seriously pose a serious question which is: "What makes people believe that buying what amounts to basically nothing, a domain name, is an "industry"; and "If indeed "domaining" arguably is an industry, which is to say something that actually produces something by adding value to something that wasn't there before", what it is that domainers actually "make", besides a few bucks, that ads value to anything, other than to monopolize language, create artificial scarcity, and drive up prices for acquiring ...well...basically nothing." A name? A word? Sir,

“If indeed “domaining” arguably is an industry, which is to say something that actually produces something by adding value to something that wasn’t there before”, what it is that domainers actually “make”, besides a few bucks, that ads value to anything, other than to monopolize language, create artificial scarcity, and drive up prices for acquiring …well…basically nothing.” A name? A word?
