Final comment, my suggestion is not $100/yr, but rather a *minimum* of
$100 for the first N years (however many years $100 buys you).  This
raises the cost of buying and dumping domains, without raising the cost
of holding domains long-term:

   Domain Name: DUKHOVNI.ORG
   Creation Date: 2001-05-12T21:29:30.0Z

This is perhaps a "young" domain in the eyes of the graybeards on this
list. :-)
