simon-cozens.org is The Only A Record for my web site, and rightfully so.
Why the hell do you think you need a www. to tell you you're getting the site
via the World Wide Web? If it's a web server, where else is it going to be?
And given that you're using HTTP, what do you expect to come down the wire?
FTP?

What next? rsync://rsync.foo.com? Do you ssh to ssh.yourhost.yourdomain.net?
Should file: URLs be redesignated file://file.localhost/... ? Hey, mom, I'm
just connecting to redundancy://redundancy.redundancy.org/redundancy/

Fuck "www.". Fuck it right up the fucking ass.
