Just for everyone's information, the problem I described below, the OpenSRS system not correctly retrieving .CA domain name profile information for previously registered .CA domain names, has apparently been fixed. I just tested it a few minutes ago... Thanks Tucows. And you'll also get some slight enhancements to the RWI next time you log in. -- John Keegan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://RackShare.com > From: "Ken Joy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 11:26:45 -0500 > To: "John Keegan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: .CA Owners registering with an existing username: not working? > > Ahh...I see.
