Agree.

The benefit to be gained these days from hyphenated domains is so small (?non-existant) its hardly worth the effort (if there ever was a benefit, anway). The spammers made sure of that ....

If you think about it for a moment from the SE pespective .... why would having a hyphenated domain make a website anymore important or relevant to a search query than not having one? Don't you think that SE's are smart enough to have worked this out by now?
