On a side note...

Maybe their records aren't entirely in sync or those values aren't the
ones being used?

I see one domain that has:

Record expires on 04-Sep-2002

Yet is in REGISTRAR-HOLD and shows:

Expiration Date: 02-sep-2003

Is there some other database or data they might be using? I also see
this on another domain - does this mean the hold period is actually a
YEAR?

Andy.
