John, The current state of domains names makes collection attorneys look like saints. Verisign SUCKS they purchased Registrars and others. Their somehow managed to improve upon Notworkign Solutions incompetence and raise it to the level of fraud. There are numerous class action suits against Verisign, due to their own incompetence domains expired and were unable to be renewed. They suggest using snap names. They have reciprocity agreements with all this registrars. Oh clever they are rewarded for their own incompetence.
Don't listen to my ranting go to http://www.verisignoff.com/ I have on word of advice Tucows. This guys/gals ROCK !!!!! I sent email to all my domain customers a few months ago urging them to move to Tucows and added that I would not take part in any transactions concerning their domains if it still was registered with Verisign. Even the smart folks at Imail don't use them. Domain Name: IMAIL.COM Registrar: REGISTER.COM, INC. [=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-] Andrew P.
