Doing things more safely in many cases does take longer. Yes, it was easier to get, for example, construction done faster in the old days. I would like to think we've come a long way.
My dad used them too, and my workplace does as well (why I'm not in charge of that where I work, I don't know -- I am in charge of the DNS servers, only to find the guy who is in charge of domain registrations has mucked around without telling me -- but I digress). If you don't know much about DNS, they are VERY visible. And if your site doesn't matter much (like my dad's), it doesn't make too much difference.
IT workers have very little tolerance for people who are in over their head working in IT and who refuse to RTFM before answering an educated question. If I had to teach myself most of what I know, why should I do free consulting work for you? Most IT workers who can see you've tried are more than happy to politely help you. The same, for that matter, goes for speaking English in France. Try to speak French first and the whole situation changes.
No, but if after all of the hoopla went public, you didn't check to see if you might have those tires and you still underinflate your tires today, yes.
You've made a number of very self-important and know-it-all posts about what you need and what this is doing to you. One assumed you knew about something as simple as this or would Google it before asking. Forgive him for thinking you might have been joking.
NameCheap. Switched a year or so ago. They're like under $10 and have given me no trouble. Their web interface also seems superior, and they support Dynamic DNS. Seems like you can't get quite as close to the actual text of the zone file. But they offer free DNS (completely free) so you can see if it meets your needs first.
The details were "people will fucking leave our hosting in droves if we keep supporting this out loud." So I'm pretty sure they pulled their public support. Their lobbying? I'm not quite so sure/don't remember.
I don't think people's survival should be related to whether or not other people feel like giving or not. It makes sense to fund these things by taxes proportional to income. If you benefit from a society, you have a duty to assist it. Obviously a person who is making $130k can afford that way more than someone making $30k (even though apparently are not convinced to give: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/22/magazine/22FOB-wwln-t.html?_r=1).
Best for society if society = themselves. What's a thing that most believe that doesn't happen to be a direct benefit to them, like "people shouldn't have to pay taxes?"
No, just anyone who's worldview is based upon wanting to do whatever they want whenever they want with no one telling them what to do (like some 9 year old who's just graduated to big-boy pants), regardless of the impact on society or what have you. You know, the type that wants the invisible hand of the market to build roads or to keep airplanes from hitting each other.
Seriously, every libertarian I've met has got some "I'm not allowed to do X" reason, or that *gasp* someone wants them to pay taxes for services they receive.

It's way less annoying than it seems like it's going to be.

I personally moved to NameCheap.

This was obviously not directed at you. Read carefully.

+1 on NameCheap. I now have a number of domains with them.

It is not a difficult change to make. If you're looking for someone to do it for you, let me know.
We do this at my workplace -- we are the primaries and Cogent does the secondaries

My organization uses HostRocket. I've heard of people recommending BlueHost.
Yes.

Yeah, because issues immediately... SQUIRREL!
I'm on the board of a "small business." We left, and were therefore unaffected.
I left too, and therefore was unaffected.

...which is code for "I don't want to help the unfortunate if I don't feel like it (and I don't)."

Unless you want to, I don't know, make a phone call?
