domain or actually change the official contacts. I think we’ve raised enough of a stink about it that they’d have a hard time claiming we sold it. My calls to them have not given me a warm fuzzy that they either know or care what actually happened Friday.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I'm still using Network Solutions from back when they were the only game in town.<br>

While they don't have Danica strutting around, I can say I've never really had an issue with them, have only had to call customer service once in 20 years, and they were very helpful then.<br>
