When I was launching this site five and a half years ago I was told that the dash between “Hollywood” and “Elsewhere” would be bad for traffic. It probably was in the early days, so in ’05 I asked the guy who ran www.hollywoodelsewhere.com, a deadbeat site if I ever saw one, if he wanted to sell. He said “okay, $10 grand.” I didn’t even reply. Early this month he got in touch again, saying he wants to give me the opportunity to purchase the domain “before we list it on sedo and other domain-selling sites.” I could be wrong, but I’m not convinced it’s even worth having.
