    He's lucky he didn't get sued actually...a lot of people have got sued over domain "squatting" over the years. Even though this was different and just bought on the hope that it would be wanted. Actually I went around the people that had the name: www.TruckersReport.com and got www.TheTruckersReport.com as they were "squatting" on that name. Had this site up about a year and they let the name expire so I then went and got it for $10...they wanted like $5,000 or something and I said shoot, you can forget that...patience won the day, LOL.

    There are so many people that do that thinking they are going to 'get rich'. There are also so many variations possible for a domain name, that it's ridiculous to think someone is going to drop a lot of money for a domain name. You think like I do when it comes to domain names Wise!
