Hmmm....sort of a: Warning: If you transfer this domain now, you risk losing a year that you may have recently paid for at another registrar; consider waiting unitl <whenever> before transfering your name.
Hmmm......I like that, just from a 'pro registrant' point of view.....there are a issues: a) not all registrars are mean like that....maybe it could be registrar specific ...and perhaps more issues besides :) But, all the same, I'll talk to some people around here about it... NOTE:Resellers should ALL be advising their clients about this; check yourself to see when the domain was renewed, where possible.
