What a bunch of crap!

[Mark Hutchings]

Well, SnapNames doesnt "guarentee" that they will get the domain for
you. But the thing that pisses me off is, I've been calling Verisign
once every week or every other week at times trying to get information
on when Verisign is going to release DESYNERGY.COM.  Now all of a sudden,
someone from Verisign gets the domain name for 2 years and Verisign NEVER
released the domain name!  AAaaarrrggghh!
