Dear Prof. Froomkin,
You will I hope excuse my presumption in seeking to contact you.
I was wondering whether you might consider selling me this domain name? I am in the process of establishing a European organisation called the Discourse Institute, which will be a legal body designed to combat the increasing erosion of free speech in Western Europe (imprisonment is now commonplace).
Such a catchy domain as this one would be perfect for our needs, and though of course I understand fully if you’d not be interested in selling, were you willing to do so I would do all in my power to get you a price you would be more than happy with.
If you might be interested please don’t hesitate to contact me at the email address I gave to make this comment.
With thanks and best wishes,
George
Hey now! A buy out offer (or a scam? You never know on the Internet). Will we be looking you up on a new, but still catchy domain name soon?
Looks real, but I’m not biting.
