10 Reasons Why You Need a Break From Domaining

At times, I’ve submerged myself in domaining to the point where I have made irrational decisions.  It’s a serious condition that can be avoided if you maintain a moderate level of domain exposure, ample vitamin C, and daily exercise.  Excess exposure to domaining, on the other hand, can be dangerous to you and those around you.  Fortunately, there are early warning signs developed by the scientific community that you can look out for.  I originally posted this one back in 2010 but as I was recently re-reading it, a few more symptoms came to mind.  Here are 10, no… 15 reasons why you may need to take a break from domaining.

15.   You spend too much time during work reading lists like this one.
