stop using the www. in your URLs people

You don't need it.  It actually makes it harder to enter a URL based on how modern browsers work.

short way

long way

From a probability standpoint it actually reduces the chances that a person will have success entering the URL because it requires 4 extra characters to be entered correctly.  Using the www. is simply archaic and makes you seem out of touch with technology.

I won't vote for a politician that has www. on their media.  I won't shop at a store that sends me flyers with www. on it.  I boycott the companies that advertise in the daily paper I read that use the www.  I don't like extra steps on the web.  My time is too valuable to me to waste typing in an extra four characters I don't need.  When you consider how many URLs a person will enter in their lives, that is a lot of www. you have to enter.  That is time you nor your wrist will ever get back. 

Save my wrist and yours by saying no to www. in URLs.  http://urlpirates.com NOT  http://www.urlpirates.com  ARGGG my wrist.

I hate extra steps...

 wild eye willy is the name, what about the web drives you insane? 

BTW if I am wrong and there is a good reason to enter the www. please let me know.  I am perfectly ok with being wrong.
