As we know, the upstanding folks at Network Solutions are trying their best to protect all their customers from the shady practices of other registrars. Network Solutions would never do anything disreputable themselves, of course.
Oh, wait: here's one that must have slipped past their ethics committee. The transfer approval messages they send to their customers say that the customer's e-mail service may no longer work after the transfer, *even if the domain name in question does not have any e-mail services through Network Solutions* (which they could easily check). This scared one of my customers enough this morning that I think she's going to cancel the transfer and renew with NSI, even though NSI has nothing to do with her e-mail. You don't think they're doing this on purp.... nah; this kind of thing (which would be prohibited under the new transfer rules, as I understand it) is what those OTHER registrars do, and I'm sure NSI will stop doing it as soon as they realize it's *wrong*. Thank heavens NSI is protecting the interests of registrants everywhere by taking a principled, unselfish position against the new transfer rules, even though they have nothing to gain from such a stance! -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies http://www.tigertech.net/ "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." -- Darwin
