> The other kind of person is (like me, so bias) the type who register domains with a project in mind but time or resources don't get funnelled to the project so the domain may as well be released back into the wild

The third type of person is one who comes up with - at the time - a hilarious sounding joke, registers http://www.cannedgoat.com, and then continues to renew it year-after-year for sentimental reasons.

Besides, who's going to buy cannedgoat.com off me? Might as well keep it from being a GoDaddy banner site.
