I have heard some folks in the past say they release it pretty quick, but of
late they seem to sit on the name if it seems to be a desirable name.
Recently that means anything that was ever registered before.  They seem to
be getting real shady.  One person said in an emial on another list that
they had a name that was dead over a year and NS was still sitting on it.

You may have to go back to them to reinstate the name, and then transfer it
later.
