Domain grabbing assholes

Though I am well aware of all the problems there are with people
stealing everyone elses domains, last summer when a domain expired that
I was connected to, and it was left to expire without being picked up
my confidence was renewed in the domain registration system. I though,
well sure they are taking up the good domains but at least the rest of
us can rest in peace.

However my confidence has been once again shaken. Upon searching for
another domain which expired last summer which I knew about I found
that, that one had been snapped up by one of these. The assholes behind
this registration had been Kentech, Inc. My problem therefore is what to do with the domains that I am considering I let expire.

Due to my previously renewed faith in the system, I had left two domains slide earlier this month which are currently waiting to be deleted and I fear that these two will now be taken up by the losers who try to profit off stealing others peoples traffic – because that is what you guys do, you are no better than the lawyers that destroy communities by getting everyone to sue each other (obviously the you was aimed at them).

I still have domains I was considering letting slide although the only difference I can see here, is that the first one was a .net whereas this one was a .com. Apart from that the .net was a much superior name but was not taken up. So I am left in quite a situation that I have a feeling is going to damage my bank balance in domain renewals to make sure they are not stolen. I’m not happy.
