Subject: UKNM: Letsbuyit.com - On A Loser?

I read somewhere yesterday that letsbuyit.com are buying up lots of
domain names such as letsbuyshit.com or letsbuyitsucks.com etc. etc.
to prevent some japester comandeering them.

Does this scream 'what a futile exercise' at anyone else, or is it just
me? Anyone who wants to wax lyrical about the less positive aspects of
letsbuyit.com's service will just think of a name that they haven't
bought. And it's ripe for the picking as well - letsdissit.com,
letsslagitoff.com (I could go on, but I won't.)

Is this sort of thing common practice? And if you're going to go on a
spending spree like this, surely you're better off finding out what
people mistakenly type in when they're searching for your site - like
lets-buy-it.com etc.?
