Verisign is now returning a page for those trailing dash domains, btw.

You see, Russ, when you were atttempting to monetize traffic to domain names
which had a trailing hyphen, what you were doing was wrong.  Now that
Verisign is monetizing traffic to those domain names, it is okay.  You are
the "wrong kind of person".  Only the "right kind of people" are permitted
to make money using domain names that have a trailing hyphen.
