So maybe I should just pay the fee, and then sue them in small claims court. :) If nothing else, it will just piss them off and cost them money sending someone to appear for them. Since they do business with people in minnesota, I can sue them here. They probably purposely didn't send me a renewal notice like I usually get so they can gouge me on more fees. Aren't they essentially squatting on my domain since they are forcing me to pay to get it back from them? Isn't squatting illegal? Maybe someone will file a class action against them, this is shady as hell. > -----Original Message----- > From: Marty Olson [mailto:marty at borderbound.com] > Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 10:49 AM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: RE: [TCLUG] register.com bastards > > > Yep, that's been my experience with GoDaddy as well.
