:domainist: /doh-mayn'ist/ adj. 1. Said of an {{Internet
address}} (as opposed to a {bang path}) because the part to the
right of the `@' specifies a nested series of `domains';
for example, esr@snark.thyrsus.com specifies the machine
called snark in the subdomain called thyrsus within the
top-level domain called com. See also {big-endian}, sense
2. 2. Said of a site, mailer, or routing program which knows how
to handle domainist addresses. 3. Said of a person (esp. a site
admin) who prefers domain addressing, supports a domainist mailer,
or proselytizes for domainist addressing and disdains {bang
path}s. This term is now (1993) semi-obsolete, as most sites have
converted.
