and let us all be honest : A customer that gets 3 emails saying his domain will expire, then a final one (if you are that concious) to point out the deletion coming up, and then does NOT renew does NOT WANT that particular domain anymore. If another one wants it for any particular reason, why would one not sell it to him with an edge, it is called service and turnover, which otherwise might go to snapnames, or others. what a lot of you are saying is that when you work behind the bar you pay for your own drink, whether the boss is around or not, get real please. flames of list pls, it has been clutter enough one would say.
