[geeks] Network Solutions rant

[Gil Young]

I feel your pain, their response of "let it expire and re-register" is
sooooo unprofessional of them. I use domainmonger.com for all of my new
domains now, one day I will transfer all of my NSI domains over.  Now that
they dont do PGP for domain protection, they are basically like most other
OpenSRS domain vendors.
