I don't think Andrew got the domain back. It looks like it was John from DomainNoob who retrieved the domain for Sal.

  Yes, but Andrew put the two of them in touch, and he posted the story, so he's reading.

    Did you downvote my comment? Did you bother reading the article? Andrew did not put them in touch. John, of DomainNoob, was already a fan of Sal Khan. He somehow ended up watching Sal's interview on Mixergy where it was brought up that .com domain was not available. After watching that interview, John decided to look into the matter and actually went through the whole ordeal to get the domain for khanacademy. Sure, Andrew publicized the issue but all the leg work was done by John.

      I didn't downvote your comment. > Did you bother reading the article? I did. From the article: > I was able to contact Sal through Andrew Warner and Sal was happy to have me bid on his behalf.

  Ah ok, I took that from the 'we' in the title.
