I have to say that I have been having the same problem with them. I have been waiting for a .net and its almost 3 months since the domain has been "expired" and no updates have been made on the domain in that time. I have tried contacting the administrative contact but they don't respond (of course). Is there a way you can rock NSI's world to get the domain or are they forever lost within the sub-space ether?? (not had good dealings with them before and dont expect to this time either) ©º°¨¨°º©[Queen Vamp]©º°¨¨°º© "póg mo thón " X-Virus-Scanned: by MailScan
