So-called domain tasting is one of the more unpleasant developments in the domain business in the past year. Domain speculators are registering millions of domains without paying for them, in a business model not unlike running a condiment business by visiting every fast food restaurant in town and scooping up all of the ketchup packets.

Such bullshit. I hate domain speculators. For that matter, I hate anyone who buys a domain with the express intent of reselling it or absorbing typo-traffic. Unfortunately, I haven't been satisfied by any of my own arguments against their rights to do that stuff. Alas, even with all my hate, I can't make an effective case to say they *can't* do it.
