wesley is on a distinguished road
A friend of mine got the bright idea to reg a name with google in it. He even went so far to develop the site and got lots of traffic. The site was hugely successful and would have still been if he used another name.

Then google came calling. Basically they took the name. Lock, stock and barrel. Personally I will never understand why people take the chance. I mean he went on and on in forums about how he had been done in. Why should big corps go after the small guy.

And I was thinking - you have to know any corporation is going to come after its property.
