--I am wondering out load here.....How common is this? -- Reason I wonder I have a couple clients that have gone through similar events with a couple different registrars.(including tucows) clients on both sides of the fence with the domain and another "wanting" their domain -- I personally do not see that the event's mentioned and their occurrence are registrar independent but registrar consistent......... ----My problem with the whole thing is that the results are in place before a persay trial........"what happened to innocent till proven guilty".
