It is a big deal, if everyone took that attitude the Internet would really slow
down.
Think of millions of servers slowing down. Think of all those lame-server
entries
in all those log files.
Running a nameserver that is lame, is irresponsible.
Be a good Internet citizen, and make sure your nameserver is not
counted amongst the 'lame'.
just my 2 cents.
