Wow, looks like he is really 'hoarding' a lot of domains.
I'd be interested to know what the HN sentiment is for this kind of behaviour; his only claim to these domains is that he got there first - he obviously has no intention of using them beyond selling to the highest bidder.
I think it's shitty behaviour - but what's the alternative? I've found good fresh domains in the past, and let them drop when the project I registered them for (inevitably) doesn't go anywhere, only to see them grabbed by domain squatter.
Recently I listed an unneeded but above average (trademarkable, keyword, .com) on HN as free to anyone who could use it, with the stipulation that they pass it on if subsequently not used.
