And Bob, I agree with everyone else: what a monumentally unselfish act on your part. You should get some satisfaction in knowing that your name and reputation have been cemented in gold on this board as a result of this truly altruistic act.

Jeez Nick, I'm not Mother Theresa, but thanks for the accolades!

Good News!

I just got a call from the domain brokers and they will be refunding my money in full in the form of a check to be mailed to my home address. As soon as that check clears, I will end the Paypal and credit card dispute and then send any donation money that does reach me through the mail or otherwise back to the original donors.

Thank you all for your generosity and help!

Bob

Dishing out $500 solely to help others find their way out of misery and with no possibility of personal benefit may not be Mother Theresa, but it's extremely admirable by anyone's standards.

Glad you are getting your money back. And me too.

Finally, a little justice.

Well thanks Nick.

Now that this episode will be drawing to a conclusion, I am thinking of what to do next. We can't get a domain that violates the ACSA, but I'm sure there are domains that are not close to any federally registered trademarks that could still be used to generate more traffic. Anything related to Alcohol Cure comes to mind. This next time I will perform my due diligence prior to executing any transactions.

What is it that people type into a search engine when they are desperate to be freed from the grips of Alcoholism?

Bob

PS How do I rename this thread? I'm sure as the thread author there must be a way to do it.

I think you can edit your original post and do it there...I think.

And that's exactly how it's done!

Thanks!

Bob

Woohoo!!!

Bob, to answer your question, I think "treatment" is a common word, right up there with "sober." And since TSM is a treatment that doesn't require sobriety and all the AA connotations that go with the word, "treatment" might be a better word than "sober."

In my case, I searched for "alcoholism" at Amazon and found The Book (best $10 I ever spent!)

When I first went onlilne to fine out anything I could, I googled ' how to quit drinkinmg'.
