For the past 22 years, it’s been in the hands of domain squatters. Every so often I’d visit to check the asking price, then grumble and curse.</p> <p>Ten years ago: $10,000. Five years ago: $4,000. Last year: $1,000.</p> <p>Yesterday: $500.</p> <p>At that price, it was one of those “treat yo’ self” moments. I’d prefer never to engage with squatters, but I made an exception.</p>
