As for the high reg fee, it really aggravated me at first, then I came to the conclusion that it keeps the squatters at bay and leaves good names up for grabs. Speculating at $80 - $100 per year and soon per extension changes things. At close to $400/year holding costs you better be sure you can get good money for it. Leaving good names for those who plan to develop them.
