Right yeah. Wasn't that the thing that flopped? I still can't remember the time difference for that UTC or whatever it is you use. Universal Toking Chamber? Anyhow, i'll bet many of us who buy/manage domains thru opensrs have multiple projects outside of the domain name realm and digest huge volumes of data on a daily basis. I'm one of those. So, even though i've been here for years, i toss/forget information that isn't relevant to me. Otherwise i'd go catatonic. So, thus my comment about important abbreviations. > we get new > resellers everyday. Thanks for the heads up.
