Who the hell are you to decide I don't need 10 domain names per day and
that paying for them means nothing? Is there a limit set by any
organization? No there aren't. If I am paying for them, I have the right to
pay for one a year or 10 a day.

There's nothing wrong for using a script to automate a process as long as I
am paying for them. eBay has an api. Amazon has an api and thousands of
online services provide.

You're a turd to take the stance of guilty until proven innocent and
telling me the longest part is finding a name as if I am registering any
name or I don't know a thing about the process. It's none of your business
what I plan to do with the names. Take a hike.
