He's known since 1997 (earlier?) that he has a dangerous domain. He had an offer from Microsoft "several years back" (curious how long ago) but he's holding out for something closer to "market"? I doubt he spent much money purchasing and maintaining the site over the years. Yes, Microsoft should get the purchase done at $1.7m. But O'Connor doesn't exactly come across as a saint here. Pay a "market price" for my sui generis dangerous domain or I'll sell it to the highest bidder...
