As we know, the upstanding folks at Network Solutions are trying their
best to protect all their customers from the shady practices of other
registrars. Network Solutions would never do anything disreputable
themselves, of course.
Oh, wait: here's one that must have slipped past their ethics committee.
The transfer approval messages they send to their customers say that the
customer's e-mail service may no longer work after the transfer, *even if
the domain name in question does not have any e-mail services through
Network Solutions* (which they could easily check).
This scared one of my customers enough this morning that I think she's
going to cancel the transfer and renew with NSI, even though NSI has
nothing to do with her e-mail.
You don't think they're doing this on purp.... nah; this kind of thing
(which would be prohibited under the new transfer rules, as I understand
it) is what those OTHER registrars do, and I'm sure NSI will stop doing
it as soon as they realize it's *wrong*.
Thank heavens NSI is protecting the interests of registrants everywhere
by taking a principled, unselfish position against the new transfer
rules, even though they have nothing to gain from such a stance!
