View Poll Results: Worth Something?

I had bought the above yesterday and now just saw the other recent thread about "Yellow Pages", but did not list them before as thought might be somewhat ridiculous, but maybe in the future, they could be worth something with Skype's widespread and probable increasing use?

skype is a trademark with no descriptive/generic defense so this is more of a liability than an asset imo.

**philgcdr** · 09-11-2008 06:49 PM

I do not know.

Might be worth reading up on it then:

I have got better things to do at the moment then read through some "splurge" - if someone wanted to buy it fine, if not, well, it is "loose change".

I know the feeling, I shouldn't have wasted my time to try and show you how to avoid potential disputes which can cost decidedly more than "loose change".

not sure why I'm bothering to add this, but "yellow pages" is also a registered trademark in the uk.

Not sure why you bother either - please save everyone else's time and your own if you have better things to do.

It's not for people like you, it's for the people who want to do this to actually make money. they make it all worth while.

sadly it takes a few posts to determine the wheat from the chaff.

"it takes a few posts to determine the wheat from the chaff." - as you say...

philgcdr - safesys is trying to help! If you actually listen to what he says, you'll learn a lot and can actually do well as a domainer.

Thanks for the UK links safesys, good to know. The overwhelming majority of those UK decisions were transfers, I noticed.

**safesys** · 09-11-2008 09:41 PM

I think that's to be expected really as I'd hope that in the main people would only take disputes to drs where they believe they have a good case.

safe, you go to the trouble of providing a community that philgcdr can be part of, you spend your time offering him sound and logical advice and in return not only do you get a back hander but an uppercut as well.

Yup, a classic example of a wanker, I'm just not sure whom the wanker is.

**philgcdr** · 09-11-2008 11:11 PM

"I'm just not sure whom" - look in your mirror?

What a waste of keystrokes and bandwidth.
