[dns-operations] defensive domain registration - yes or no?

[Steve Crocker]

I agree that spending a lot of money for spelling variations of your domain
name is usually not worth it.  On the other hand, nailing down the name
under com, net, org and perhaps a couple of others is a small cost and
worthwhile if the names are available.
