Ok. I just read some posts on the lists. I didn't realize this was
actually the way it works. Not only will I look pretty dumb, but I might
as well throw out any data I have for projecting income for this year. I
assume domains renewed elsewhere will still remain is my RWI, so I'll
have domains in there from which I may or may not *ever* receive further
renewal income. Unless I'm paying real close attention and harvesting
whois and whatnot I won't even *know* domains are getting renewed
elsewhere, so I won't even ave the opportunity to try and save the sale.
Am I correct about this?
