opinion Who is the person you admire the most in the domain industry?

[equity78]

Over the years both here and on blogs there have been polls with regards to the greatest domain investor of all time. This is not one of those threads. There are so many new to domaining and so many had different head starts.

Many people have validly asked what does greatest encompass? It obviously is very subjective and people have stats or metrics that mean more to them than others. Look at NBA Michael Jordan vs LeBron James or Pele vs Messi in Futbol debates as examples.

Instead in this thread list the ONE person you admire the most in the domain industry? They can be any role, maybe it's not an investor but a publisher or it's someone who handles the technical aspects of making domain names work. The list could be infinite, so when the post starts to wind down, lose steam as all posts do, I will do a manual count.

Andrew Rosner.

I'm a job person but one day I saw post of Andrew on X.
After his post of million dollar sales just from domains, I was eager to understand the business of domains.

today I'm here.

I think you posted in the wrong thread. This isn't the "Who is the pothead you admire the most" thread.

Hi

after all the years i used to "puff, puff, puff" at the end of some posts...
you'd think at least that i'd be in the running for a "most admired pothead nomination".



imo...
