It is a bit of waste of time also, to be fair.  But here’s a great example of where a user hits the nail on the head.   https://www.quora.com/Im-1-co-founder-out-of-3-I-came-up-with-the-original-idea-but-cant-commit-more-than-5-hours-week-as-I-have-a-full-time-job-However-I-have-30-years-of-experience-and-an-extensive-network-that-will-advance-the-company-tremendously-I-think-that-with-that-we-should-all-have-the-same-equity-Do-you-agree   I'm 1 co-founder out of 3.

I cannot tell you how over-the-moon I am about the new TLDs and never again shall I been beholden to someone trying to squeeze a sizable sum out of me for nothing. Fairey is my wife's maiden name that she still uses professionally.  So I'd buy it as a gift for her, but nothing else.   That puts a sizeable cap on the amount of cash I'd be prepared to spend. I recall from our previous engagements that the "owners" of th
