closed Domainism.com prejudice against people on the basis of their Internet address

Domainism.com, is it worth the trouble? Appraisal or opinion would be appreciated.

domainism -- Prejudice against people on the basis of their Internet address. For example, adopting a dismissive attitude towards anyone who posts from a commercial online service. "Why should anyone listen to you, you're posting from aol.com!"

My opinion is that its worth the registration fee and in todays market $100-300. I must admit, I had never heard of this word until last night.

Is domainism the mental illness where people sit in front of their computers till ungodly night hours and study long lists of expired domains until they find something, register it and upon posting it to the forum learn that it was crap in the first place?

The addiction of domain-hunting?

If so, then sorry me definitely is plagued by that illness

This will be an epedimic in the 2010. We need to find the cure

... we need to find a cure...

No need to, because once the wallet has been emptied out and the list of totally useless names cannot be managed anymore because of lack of hard-drive space, then the fuel for this disease has vanished and the afflicted victims start to improve again

One would think "domainism" would revolve more around the ongoing renewal fees, versus the initial registrations. There is optimism and excitement at the registration process ... but by the time of renewal, reality sets in and it becomes a question of throwing (more) good money after bad. "Domainism" .... I like it!
Good Luck.
