Tucows has just announced another Dutch Auction to repurchase 2,900,000 shares of it’s stock in a Dutch Auction ranging from .61 to .70 / share, commencing next week.

This comes on the heels of a long line of regular share repurchases and another Dutch Auction last year. Tucows has been steadily reducing its outstanding shares for a few years now.

Disclosure: Long Tucows.

I make it a personal mantra to never do business with spammers. There’s a guy who keeps comment spamming this blog and then leaving hostile comments “why aren’t you publishing my comments?” – Because they’re spam, you imbecile.

Well right now the cake has been taken, with about 2 dozen spam comments received so far, coming in at the rate of one-per-minute: parksdot.com, who are ostensibly “parking the net”, but whom I’ve never heard of before today are spamming the hell out of me.

This is no way to enter a business and gain any cred guys. Cut it out. My recommendation to anybody looking to test unknown, obscure, second tier domain parking platforms: give these guys a pass.
