P.S. I wouldn't call registry set buyers "investors". They are mostly in it for the competition and the bravado. From a money standpoint, you would be better off selling to registry builders than becoming one yourself.
I think a fair question, though, Al, is if they did know would they care? It seems from the number of people who do know but don't care, the answer unfortunately may be no.
