                               Network Polution

I finally got my invoice from Network Polutions [1] for my domain,
conman.org. Or, as [DELETED-Network Polutions-DELETED], uh, Verisign [2]
calls it, my Web Address. Morons.

To make it worse, there's an ad for GreatDomains.com [3] where I can get an
appraisal of my domain. Just think, I could be sitting on a goldmine!
Imbicils.

To make matters worse, they send me an invoice for US$70, which renews my
domain for two years. I don't want to renew my domain, sorry, web address for
two years—not with these idiots. But, I can renew online [4] and well, will
you look at that! If I renew online I get 10% off a two year renewal. But not
if I renew by check (my preferred method of payment). And I get a choice of
renewing for only a year. Words fail me.

I'd switch registrars, but with my domain up for renewal, I don't want to
risk loosing it entirely if I decide to switch now (and I've already gotten
junk snail mail offering just that. Sigh) and the potential for it to be
totally munged up for weeks on end.

So I'm sending a check to renew for one year and once that clears, then I'm
switching.
