I guess I'm still not convinced that a dashed domain is all that bad from a monetizing point of view. But it's sounding like it all depends on how you try to monetize the domain name.

For a typical reseller, dashes would be a bad thing, but if you plan on developing content for a domain with dashes, then I would think that the value of the dashed domain would depend on the amount of incoming traffic, not whether it has dashes or not. Does this sound about right?
