A friend pointed out to me that gandi.net is the ONLY domain registrar 
whose service agreement specifically states that your domain name is 
your intellectual property, that you *OWN* your domain name, and that it 
will never be revoked or taken from you unless you voluntarily 
relinquish it or fail to renew your registration.

Since hearing that, I've been giving definite thought to transferring my 
domains to gandi.net when they come up for renewal.  One of them comes 
up in April.
