Joseph, I left for the reason Topher just listed, and, GD and I had a
long running dispute with an expired domain of mine. I've read multiple
(and one acquaintance's personal) story about their sub-par treatment

and dysfunctional, I completely agree.

No complaints about Danica Patrick, though.

doesn't, but our own decisions?
