After learning the lesson the hard way, I usually try to get both versions of a domain for anything important, and point one of the versions to the other depending on which one I think is better in that case (easy to read, to see the words, etc). If the non-hyphenated is already taken I don't bother with that domain since I know my work will benefit someone else.
In Tommy's case he has both versions, and he points the non-hyphenated to the hyphenated, probably because it's easier to read that way (but no matter what a surfer types he'll still get to Tommy's site).
In Greenguy's case, someone else owns the non-hyphenated version and they're making money by parking the domain and letting it be fed by surfer traffic too lazy to type hyphens when they hear about the great Link O Rama site.
Domains were pretty expensive ($70 or so each) when I started, so we have lots of domains where we only own one version. But with domains costing under $10, it seems a wise move to grab both versions now.
