Re: [ga] Domain Tasting is Dead

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

George and all,

  I still have rather significant doubts that Domain Name Tasting
is dead, frankly.  Given much more independent reports in fact
it appears that Domain Name Tasting is still with us, and increasing
slightly.  Ergo it seems that http://www.dailychanges.com/ figures
are not accurately representing the facts.  Like my old granddaddy
once told me as a very young lad, figures don't lie, but liars figure.
