Seriously, it&amp;#39;s becoming harder and harder to find names that are available as .com

A lot of folks all around the world are purchasing a bunch of domain names in expectation to resell them at much higher costs.

Glad to see that none of these guys have thoughts about purchasing vo3max.

Since I coach in triathlon, the 3 (instead of 2) has its relevance.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How did your team name come to be ?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/140865?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:14:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:d06672ad-df10-403e-aa85-bfbbc2381bf6</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Finally, I found something generic, bilingual, available in .com

The team used to be the &amp;quot;Raleigh Aquatic Masters&amp;quot;, as the surrounding towns grew, the team became the &amp;quot;Raleigh Area Masters&amp;quot;.  

Of course NC State University is here in Raleigh.  NCSU is a bitter ACC rival to UNC-Chapel Hill, so only Tarheel fans accept this anecdotal explanation.
