MSN Search Won't Call a Hyphenated Domain Spam or Will They?

Here is another tidbit from MSNdude at WebmasterWorld.

Thing is, we can't just automatically call a site spam because it has a url with a lot of hyphens in it.
Are other people seeing a lot of spammy hyphenated domains getting ranked by us? I know we used to have a bad problem with that, but lately I haven't seen it so much. Am I just looking in the wrong places?

Hmmm....
