sorry, I probably could've worded that better.

Let's see if this helps make it sufficiently clear.
<br>
<br>
Most of the work is change. Notably dropping domain(s),
<br>
or adding domain(s) ... or the especially frustrating annoyance of
<br>
dropping and readding.
<br>
<br>
So, the non-canonicals, I don't really care if you keep 'em or
<br>
not ... not my $$. But if they get dropped, I have to do the work
<br>
of dropping 'em from the infrastructure. And if I end up needing
to
<br>
do that, I'm probably going to be unwilling to do the work to
<br>
readd them (e.g as sf-lug.com was earlier dropped ... then
readded).
<br>
So, ... if it drops, I drop it ... but I'm probably not willing to
<br>
readd a domain that's dropped - that's a whole lot 'o
<br>
drop/add work that's not worth my time/resources/energy for a
whole
<br>
LUG that can't manage to spend like about ~$14.00 USD or so per
year
<br>
per domain to avoid having me do all that otherwise unnecessary
work.
<br>
<br>
So ... hopefully that's more clear. It's the drop and/or add
that's
<br>
most of the work (and especially if it's both). I.e. the change -
<br>
that's the work.

Keep or drop? Michael suggests either way
<br>
means work for him.
<br>
If I recall rightly, sf-lug.org is the
<br>
canonical domain name. sflug.org (and
<br>
sflug.com and sflug.net) are there as
<br>
a matter of convenience for possible
<br>
spelling confusion (e.g. someone looking
<br>
for a lug in san francisco).

My calendar and whois(1) tells me:

<br>
So ... these are non-canonical. Doesn't particularly matter
to me if
<br>
they're kept or dropped, but each such action ends up
involving a fair
<br>
bit 'o work on my end. So ... don't be willy-nilly doing
drops/adds.
<br>
If I drop 'em from "my" infrastructure (and DNS slaves, etc.)
- a fair
<br>
bit 'o work, I may not be willing to readd them (which would
be yet
<br>
again a fair bit 'o work). And when would I drop 'em from
"my"
<br>
infrastructure? Anytime after registrar DNS delegation is no
longer
<br>
functioning - at that point the domains become non-functional
and much
<br>
more of a liability and pain than anything else.
