Oh, come *on* guys.  How much does a bleeping domain *cost*? Under what
conditions does "zomg I'm gonna lose the other 9 years" actually outweigh the
aggrivation?  Either you're paying $8.95 a year, at which point obsessing about
it for more than an hour costs more than the domain, or you;re paying $100 a
year for some premium support that you're obviously not getting - at which
point it's obvious you've made a bad business decision and you should cut your
losses.

(Yes, I know the *real* problem is getting your business offfice to issue
payment to the new registrar, and then fixing your internal procediures and
documentation  to match what the new regisrar wants.  and the other real
problem is that the registrar race to the bottom means *none* of them
do everything you need/want...)
