Good day all!

Got something in the snail mail today that I thought you might be interested
in.

It would appear that NetSol is getting a little desperate in regards to
losing business to other registrars.  I received what appeared to be an
invoice from.  It was attached to a letter that began (paraphrased) "We're
offering you one last opportunity to renew your domain name automatically
for another two years."   Didn't initially think much of it, since we have a
couple of names registered through them from way back before we learned
better...  but upon reading the "invoice" I realized that the name I would
be renewing is a name which is not registered with NetSol, but is actually
registered through Register.com.

So, by renewing this domain name, I would also be authorizing a transfer of
registrars from Register.com to NetSol.

Geez... I automatically toss all mail from Sprint, AT&T, etc.  Now I have to
do it with NetSol as well?

Thought you all would be interested.  Anyone else get anything like this?
