When A domain expires, IT SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE HELD BY SOME PRIVATE COMPANY to be auctioned off. I have lost domains via expiring, and for a company to be able to hold on to them after the expiration date is a bunch of horseshit. Thats a monopoly. I see the NS servers for a domain I want that has expired .. new1.domainnamerenewal.net .. verisign or network solutions little "we're going to make it .. utterly impossible if you're doing queries for this name, for you to get it at the drop off rate." We should file some sort of regulatory act on these unfair corporate scandals. Either that or just start adding top level domain name servers TLD NS's that exist if you got a bunch of pimp NOC engineers at the big route hosts writing name server records to include these querie routes. Need a alt.intl.dns usenet group or something. We need REFORM.
