There are domainers that own hundreds of thousands and even millions of domains. Those are the guys making life suck.

These guys are actually helping, by doing the hard work of sifting through the relatively few good ones still available and charging a fair price for the effort.

Save all your outrage for the real scumbags and the ICANN organization that makes them possible.

I don't think anyone has broken the million mark to be fair. BuyDomains is probably the closest, but even they haven't broken it afaik.

As far as blackballing, I can think of one super well known tech figure who came from the domain industry - Michael Arrington.
