I'm not really a complaining type of guy, but I was so amused at the flurry of emails I just got to be part of to re-register a domain that was paid up for another year, that I had to post about it.
Verisign is sending out these outright lying emails, telling people to register their supposedly ALREADY EXPIRED domains. Personally I think it's kind of cute. To help you with "what's wrong in this picture", I've red-lettered the date my domain already expired in their email. I suppose these are mistakes due to computer error- I mean, why would you intentionally decieve your customers?
