If they're really doing this (and I don't particularly doubt it) someone should script up a little bot to search for domain names that are likely to trigger the mechanism. Find word clouds around some of the newer domains like .quest with characters under a certain limit...

...or perhaps that's feeding the beast and namecheap will be thanking us in 5 years when people are knocking down their doors for the hot domains we generated.

If the goal was to find out the keywords, it would feed the beast, but if the goal was to bump their expenses in hopes they turn it off, you'd need a serious amount of domains for them to autobuy!
