In celebration of ten years of blogging here at LTG, each week for the next 5251 50 49 48 47 46  45 44 43 42 41 40 weeks I will delve deep into the sewerarchives of past posts to bring you a tidbit of blog history.  I had originally planned to call this series “The best of LTG”, but damn, there just wasn’t much “best” to be found.  And mediocre is too hard to spell.)

Six years ago I wrote about losing the rights to the domain johnmccrarey.com in a post called “What’s your name worth”.

The nightmare began when I logged onto LTG and instead of the content y’all have come to know and love I was taken to some spam website for some kind of drug product.  It took awhile, but I eventually discovered that my domain had expired and subsequently was purchased by some fucker in Poland.  I was unwilling to spend several hundred dollars to buy back my own damn name.  So, purchased  mccrarey.com and carried on.

I had a larger readership back then, but to be honest I don’t think I lost all that many folks during the transition.  You’ve got to be a real die hard fan to keep coming back for the crap I put out year after year.  Thanks for that!

I rarely visit johnmmcrarey.com because I don’t won’t to give the bastard using my name any undeserved traffic.  I did take a look to today just to see what was going on over there and now some jackal named John Rey Kee from Singapore is using my former domain to promote his fashion designs.  Seriously, who does that?

I thought about using Kee’s “contact” page to send him a nasty note, but that requires giving out my email address.  That ain’t happening.  .And he’s not getting a link either.
