Nick, that post was pure Melville in terms of being classic and epic...
Here are some reflections on those whales you describe:
1.) The highly hunted and prized Mailer Whale:
A dangerous beast that is as likely to bring down a ship just as easily as delivering a bounty of riches. Over-hunted by greedy mongers, usually considered on an ethical par with slave trading...
2.) The illusive SE Whale
Blue as the sky and truly bountiful at much less risk but hard to catch and prone to geologic shifts of territory as in "here today and gone tomorrow".. All the so called "gurus" that one sticks up in a crow's nest tend to overestimate their worth and stake their claim on past achievement rather than future glory.
3.) The Domain Whale.
A fat bloated beast that wallows in the warmest waters. This monster is related to the SE whale but takes a decent investment to catch as all the best domains have been fished up and flayed long ago. Yes, you can get traffic to sexyamateursex-fucking-orgasms-sexsexsex.com but it is like fishing for minnows with a harpoon...
