    Rhino, here's from an old post I sent a couple of yearly domain-name registrations ago:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you happen to have a domain name or two, DON'T LET THEM LAPSE.

    They will be sold into an underground network of domain-name slavery
    sweatshops in Malaysia and it will cost you dearly to get them back.

    You'd best consider putting your lost domain-name on milk cartons
    with a plaintive "Have You Seen This Domain-Name?"

    FFFFFFUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKk

    <what a goddamn shakedown--who would want MY domain name, except maybe another Walter Watts---well fuck you, Walter Watts, whoever you are>

What value does the squatter offer in return? My closest guess is that it is a result of an abuse of the concept of property which has found its way into the legislation. Any other explanations?
