[Eric Berg <eberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

My take is that it's less important for email to have multiple
domains.  One short one and the longer, more formal one is enought for
that.

Mail servers are quite configurable, and can -- as with web servers --
provide service for multiple "virtual" domains.  

The issue with web servers is that you want to cast your net a bit
wider since you want to make sure that people -- even fat fingered
people can get to your front door.
