I own a .xxx domain (£65/yr) for my own amusement, and I see this response a lot. Why does that fact that other people choose to buy domain names annoy some people?

The official PDF tube maps are pretty bad.

I don't know what they did to the PDFs but they take 3 seconds to render on my modern laptop, and do not work with some opensource readers. Try it yourself[1].

I'd be more likely to refer to this map now than the official PDF, so it's nice that it has a memorable URL.

Renders instantly in Safari for me.

Renders instantly in Chrome, looks great, and a PDF is far more practical than an HTML/CSS implementation

no it is not nuts. A domain is not expensive, plus you have no idea what's his plan for it.

To the OP, don't people in the UK use facebook? Add a like button.

And the tweet button is taking the current url so on your info page it shows 0 tweets (you might want to change that)

It's not my project - just something I spotted.

Domains cost ~$10

.co.uk is super cheap, actually about $5.
