I think I'm addicted to buying/acquiring domain names. I think this because every time I tell myself that I won't buy more.....I buy more. Am I crazy? Are the domains just too good to pass up? Am I an addict?

What's your take?

When every time you see sentences ending with a dot, you get an odd feeling.

Sometimes when people are talking to me, I am hearing what they are saying as domain names.

It's crazy!

When you're up answering this question at 1:21 AM when I should be sleeping but instead I'm playing with my name generator looking for some handreg gold. :)

I think if you are willing to for-go things like going out on a saturday night because you spent all your money on domains

You know you are addicted to acquiring domain names when:
  • You rather buy domains than sell them.
  • You buy 10x more domains than you sell.
  • You refuse to sell certain domains when the offer is 10x what you paid.
  • You worry about missing out on an auction or expired domain more than you do about making a sale.
  • You dread selling domains, but you love buying them.
  • You write down domains you want to buy so you don't forget.
  • You spend hours per day looking through lists of domains to buy.
  • You want to buy every good domain in the world.
If you experience any of these symptoms, you're addicted.

I'm addicted, and I'm proud of it!

I know that feeling. I always rationalize my domain buying.
