@dan unless the domain is taken away from you. Or the TLD is retired. Or the registrar shuts down and the domain expires and you can't renew it because it's stuck in limbo.

There are so many possibilities, and expecting people to be able to understand how to purchase domains is still too much. I've said the same thing for years and expected it to get better. It appears no progress has been made there. Too many people are still too ignorant about this.
