I'm checking this out. The answer, of course, is 'yes, when domains transfer
away, we mark them gone'. However, of course, this domain is still in our
system. I'm hoping it has to do with simply missing a day between our BIG
cleanup, and the daily cleanups we've been doing ever since.
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks,
Ken
