RE: Domain Drops

Hey,  [snip]   You may, therefore, either continue to check our site for the availability of the domain name and attempt to obtain it through the public registration process, contact http://www.snapnames.com to attempt to back-order this domain    It sounds like SnapNames are ALWAYS going to get customers who wish to "back-order", but to me that seems very unfair since no one can compete against them if they're in cahoots with Verisign (well it looks that way, even though it might not say it).   After reading the bit about the email from Verisign registrar above, and how the engineers manually purge the deleted domains list, it seems impossible to offer an accurate "grabbing" service.   Is that all true?  Or is there a fair way to offer such services?  I must get 2 or 3 emails a day asking if its possible to get a domain as soon as it expires, but I wasn't even interested in doing this since it seemed impossible to do.   TIA, Andy.
