>web site. This is another reason why "nic handles are good(tm)". ;)
Have you ever tried updating a NIC-Handle at Network Solutions? Changing an
e-mail address on one?
Most people just create "another one" when the e-mail address changes. This
leaves stale nic-handles in the database.
Have you ever deleted a NIC-Handle? I've tried numerous times, including
faxing the authorization letter. To this day, my SC3907 handle exists and
I can't get rid of it.
I've found NIC-Handles to have many pros, but there are also many cons to
it as well. I find them to be a messy implementation to a needed solution.
As Ross Rader said: (tm)
==================
"I sincerely think that we have an obligation to consider breaking as much
as possible. What I mean is that we can't afford to think for one second
that the entire system as it works today is perfect. Without at least
thinking about new approaches to old processes, we're all stuck in a mire
of imperfection."
Ross is a bright gentlemen and I support his concept. Let's really figure
out a way that is better than NIC-Handles and the web username/password
combination if it is possible.
I'm not excited about going back to the Network Solutions implementation
method of NIC-Handles. I'm a seasoned Internet Professional just like you
are Tim, and I have a grasp on the industry as a whole. My comments equal
yours.
