(2) It wasn't that long ago that two-week processing was standard for
a lot of domain transactions.  They raised the bar on themselves by
improving turnaround time through automatic processing.  I'm not sure
that they should now have to pay a price for that.


        "Look how good you have it now" is not a valid excuse for incompetence.

        You probably meant "You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear."

        "They" didn't raise the bar.  "They" committed to meeting
        the requirements of running the registration portion of InterNIC.

        "They" are incompetent bufoons, their staff unaware of their
        own rules, their web pages misinforming us, 'their clients',
        and their processes breaking down under stress.

        It's not up to us to excuse them from this incompetence by
        making solipsistic references to a bygone era where 'Teengs Was Bad'
        but to demand excellence and insist on it.
        
        Unfortunately, with Network Solutions, it's clear the real Solution
        is to replace them.
