Right yeah. Wasn't that the thing that flopped?
I still can't remember the time difference for that UTC or whatever it is
you use. Universal Toking Chamber?
Anyhow, i'll bet many of us who buy/manage domains thru opensrs have
multiple projects outside of the domain name realm and digest huge volumes
of data on a daily basis. I'm one of those. So, even though i've been here
for years, i toss/forget information that isn't relevant to me. Otherwise
i'd go catatonic. So, thus my comment about important abbreviations.
