Can't believe that my domain name is now owned by another person. I'm talking of wealthyfreelancer.com. Yes, someone bought it and it is parked free courtesy of a hosting company.
Now this is what I call legal stealing.
Why? Because wealthyfreelancer is an establsihed domain name. What with all the URLs there are over the internet. See for yourself, type wealthyfreelancer.com on Google.
Because I did not renew it, somebody took interest. Now, I regret letting it go.

I know how you feel. I lost www.WarrenBuffet.net. I know it's not www.WarrenBuffet.com, but it got a lot of traffic.
Some nights, I'll pour a glass of Malbec and buy domain names for fun. I've had as many as 1000+. It costs me like $8,000 a year to renew them, so I put most of them in Cash Parking to recoup a little. I own http://www.DonaldTrumpRealEstate.com and http://www.DonaldTrumpBooks.com and http://www.DonaldTrumpVisaCard.com and they all pay for their domain name renewal every year.
All in all, you can take any domain name like www.FudgeRippleWine.com and make a killing if you have a plan for great content for the site. Yes, www.FudgeRippleWine.com is available as of the end of March of 2008. I won't compete for it. Also, www.FudgeRipple.com is available right now 3/2008 and I won't claim it. However, if there is someone out there with a Fudge Ripple dream, they'll make a killing from today forward if they buy it and work it.
I own the http://www.AppleSeedProject.com and there is a similar site at www.AppleSeedProject.org. They used to be an incredible charitable website, but I'm not sure anymore. It's looks like it's a blog now. I often get emails wanting to buy domain names from me and sometimes I do the same. I paid dearly for http://www.GuruInterview.com, but I've never done anything with it. I put the stuff I would like to put on Guru Interview on http://www.REDHOTspeakers.com, but I like the Guru Interview lingo better.
By the way, it's great to see that you've already made over 30 posts during the first 3 months of 2008. I know it's not a cakewalk to Easy Street as an Internet marketer, but it does produce an spark of encouragement now and then doesn't it?
