Just joined a couple of days ago after reading these forums for a while. I think I first found Namepros through one of the stories about registrars cherry picking deleted domains.
I'm not a domainer but have collected a small stable of domains over the years, using all the wrong reasons (sounds cool, interesting word, matches a personal interest (mostly Mopar cars), politically toothsome); not much value there. I also hearkened to Godaddy's "Golf Course Chaos" commercial and bought a couple of 'phrase' domains (dot coms at least, and not through Godaddy) that seemed to click. Just did that again today, darn it... its addicting.
A number of the domains are used for email, and a couple for personal websites with a couple more planned; none are 'monetized'.
After reading here its very clear I didn't pick good salable or income earning names, but I still like them and this seems a great place to learn how to make them at least pay for their own renewals.
So thanks for the knowledge already gained, and that still to come.
