    Im curious if you have purchased your surname as a .com? was it because you really needed it or just because it was available?

    I just went to grab it and found it was taken, i trusted a godaddy email hinting at me to buy and thought because it suggested my surname.com that it was still available.:)

    Thought it was too good to be true.

    I have not, only because it is already taken. If it were available I would buy in in a heartbeat!
