Good question. Then again, at only about $7 per year (give or take), you
can register a hell of lot of names in the hopes that you luck out and sell
one for $5k. I really hate domain name speculation. I think a lot of it
has fallen off with the Internet crash, and as soon a few more TLD become
active, a lot of those speculators are going to realize they've lost a lot
of money. In fact, I've seen a lot of speculators argue _against_ expanding
the domain name space with new TLDs because it would devalue their
investments. Sheesh.
