I thought this was rather funny but sadly true — a different kind of RSS.

A look at a common affliction among domainers.

Thousands of people suffer daily from Repetitive Statistics Syndrome (RSS). RSS is an obsessive compulsive disorder that involves checking revenue statistics from programs such as Google Adsense and domain parking multiple times a day. RSS sufferers know that checking their statistics repeatedly will not increase the final revenue number at the end of the day, but they can’t bring themselves to stop checking stats. This article will discuss RSS and what can be done about it.

History of RSS. RSS began with early incarnations of public e-mail services such as AOL and Prodigy. People who were new to e-mail would check their accounts multiple times each hour to make sure they quickly knew if one of their friends had forwarded a funny picture of a cat to them or if they needed to send out a chain letter to 7 people in order to stave off bad luck. This was called RES for Repetitive Email Syndrome.
