Thats one point of view - but what about those that might already have a family to support, mortgage to pay, kids to put through college, etc, etc. If you were able to go into the red and stay there for several years on the basis of your beliefs - good for you.
However, I think its bullsh*t to say that those who don't go into the red, and who don't put their IDNs before family, health and general living, etc, are people who "lack any concept of the game".
I wish I could go absolutely nuts and go and reg 1000 names right now, but for me, there are too many other things that are more important in my life, than struggling financially and being "in the red" simply to make myself more accepted that "IDNs are the future".
Just my opinion though - and as I haven't sleep properly all week, I apologise in advance if this appears to be a personal attack on anyone. ( RD - if it wasn't for you all those years back at DNforums - I would never have known about IDNs - so in that - you do have my thanks )
