I’m an idiot (thought I’d clarify in case three years of Neopoleon.com hadn’t already gotten that across).

I let my hold on the Neopoleon.com domain name lapse. The sucker expired. I didn’t even notice – I was off doing the whole job thing.

So what happens?

It’s only been the week of teh awesomest emails evar – that’s what happened:

From: Dave Minter
To: Rory Blyth
Subject: Um... about... um... something.

I would have used a straight subject, but I can't believe for a moment that "Domain Renewal" wouldn't have triggered your voracious spam filters.

Anyway, your domain expired. I need my regular fix of Rory, so I renewed it for you for a year. Hope you don't mind.

Cheers,
Dave.

Um.

No, Dave.

I don’t mind.

Thank you.

So.

Bloody.

Much.

And, to thank Dave, I hereby request that each of you buy fifty copies of his books:

If you’re on a budget, then feel free to cut it back to ten copies of each book.

Either way, it’s currently thanks to Dave Minter that Neopoleon.com is still streaming stupidity to your browsers and aggregators at the speed of the intarwebs rather than having been snatched up by some company that, within minutes, would have Neopoleon.com redirecting to a site about barf-sex (that, in case you didn’t know, is what happens when domain names expire).

Between this email from Dave, and yesterday’s from Joel, I’m going to spend at least the next three hours of this sunny Saturday feeling like not everybody on the planet thinks I’m a raging asstard.
