We all know it happened here but...

...was the non-mention of idnf intentional?

An IDN domain also cracked the Top Ten this week with 翻訳.com (puny code = xn--pw0a62s.com) going for £4,686 ($8,897) in a private sale to claim the #10 slot. That means "translation" in Japanese.

No it wasn't.
DNJournal didn't assume it was an IDNForums sale.
It was reported but from time to time some things get mistakenly overlooked.
I reported it as it happened but it was also reported after the transaction was complete.
Ron has been very supportive of IDNF, someone just thought it was a private sale.
I just assumed it was a busy week for the guys...
I did ask about it, it wasn't intentional.
