thanks for the feedback.. it works for some folks, not for others.. true. I wanted to simply try and shift the thinking for anyone out there dabbling. Once I saw domain names in this light, it really helped me focus and concentrate on building..

I'm the same, I've had domains for years that I've never gotten round to using, and others that I've eventually let lapse.

In all the time I've had a bunch of domains there's only been interest in one of them `spare.io`, for which I've had multiple unsolicated offers.

(That despite the fact I have two forename-based domains.)

I think calling it rubbish is a bit extreme.

I am definitely motivated by purchasing a domain. Yes, not all ideas pan out but it gives me a good jolt to explore the underlying business and implementation.
