We've all run into them - people who think we should give them our domain names for nothing because we "aren't using them." Just had one this week who accused me of being a cybersquatter, claiming "you bought that domain just so you could try to sell it to someone else for a higher price!" To calm him down I let him know I understood where he was coming from, telling him that it infuriated me to learn that the owners of some of the retail stores in my area had been buying stuff they had no plans to use themselves, just so they could sell it to me at a higher price!

In a new Dear Domey column at DNJournal.com our resident humor guru examines this disconnect between real world commerce and virtual real estate. Find out what Cedarsquatters have in common with Cybersquatters through the link below:

Thanks folks for all your positive comments. Today was a discouraging day at work and it lifted my spirits to see that this column made folks laugh. Actually, makes me laugh also. :)
