No matter what he does, Mann is still a major dbag.

It doesn’t surprise me about Mike being cooperative.

Mike is a highly skilled, harden businessman but also has a compassionate side. For example, he started grassroots .org . plus others.

Congrats to Mike.

Great story Elliot and Donna! ALWAYS appropriate to shine a light on GOOD acts in this sometimes shady business.

And SHAME ON YOU DEAN! You sound like a real miserable person. You really need to take a long look at yourself in the mirror. Your comments and behavior are despicable.

In case you haven’t noticed – the domain business is a PEOPLE business. I find your words and attitude very offensive. People in the domain space like doing business with people that they like and trust, and they don’t like doing business with people like you!

I consider myself fortunate to have Donna and Elliot as trusted friends, and their character and integrity are several levels higher than most in this business.

It’s no coincidence that I (thankfully) don’t know you, as I generally avoid toxic people…..

May the Bluebird of Happiness take a great big dump right on the top of your miserable head!

@ Mike

Unfortunately, there won’t always be something enjoyable for everyone. It’s the nature of a blog. I would imagine there is enough good material (free, too) that is helpful. Some things are more PR than others, but even some of the PR things are useful to know.

The story is not bad but I do agree with Dean on a certain level.

I like reading stories like this. As with any fast paced industry, it’s nice to take it back a notch every once in a while and acknowledge the good that people do, while going about their daily jobs.

Alright, group hug, GROUP HUG!

That is a great story about Mike Mann helping out a local business, good on him! Country vets are getting harder and harder to come by as most vets prefer the city life compared to handling large animals and travelling vast distances from job to job.

Hey Dean:

Why do you hate your life so much that you need to spread your negative energy here?

Why don’t you look in the mirror, get some therapy, and work toward something positive?

Elliot, Donna, -

I enjoyed reading the story, alot!

Thanks.

What I don’t see in this post is the statement that the domain was returned for free, guessing it was a reg fee name, Mike Mann is not a collector of domains, if the vet had contacted him for the domain, he would have sold it back, that is his business model, so is that the real story?

Happy ending stories are always great to read! After all there’s MUCH more to life than money and this story proves it. BTW I love Donna’s humble and sweet personality, the industry would definitely more people like her!

Sad that posts that carry negative messages are received in a positive note while a great happy post gets negativity. This is my thank you to Mike ..about me, my dog and my vet and cooperation between domainers. And I never need any PR.

Thanks Mike, thanks Elliot and I love you Doc Lane!

and while I am at it… I have only heard reports about what a C*** this Donna Mahony is. Birds of a feather must flock together.

@ Dean

Reading comments like your is mindless entertainment to me, too. The difference is that I get paid by advertisers to read it.

Your blog to me is mindless entertainment. For every ten posts you post, maybe one has is of any relevance. The rest is just PR that you spin for this service, that registrar or some other latest person or affiliate. Your of no consequence to me.

@ Dean

That’s a stupid comment because as I said, I saw it, liked it, and thought it would be a good story to share. Nobody asked me to post it, and Mike has never been an advertiser. His company sent a PR the other day that I didn’t think added value, so that was not posted.

If you don’t like what you’re reading, you can take a hike and spend your time elsewhere.

Dude you need to man up and stop being peoples personal mill (PR) machine.
