And I *must* state taht OpenSRS has to do something and FAST to protect
domains registered with us RSPs because of the fact that companies like
NameZero have this very bad habit of moving domains back to themselves and
NSI without as much an email asking if this is *really* what you want.
I've discovered that when I send transfers through, NSI does not check to
see if ANY of the contact information is valid. They just do transfer. And
I'd rather not see OpenSRS be that way.
(and for the record, I will NEVER do business with NSI again)
