Hmmmm, liberally sexual and immoral advertisements.  I must have 
missed those.  Check.

Probably registered oogle.com and yahooo.com to porno-pervananceiers. 
Check.

Now, this one I don't understand.  How can anybody manage your DNS on 
someone else's server?  They direct dns queries to whatever hosts you 
designate, and that's it.  That's all anybody can do.

I appreciate your feedback, thanks for replying.  Competence and price are 
my two primary requisites, godaddy still looks good on those counts.

I admit that I support several immoral business industries already, (gas, 
food, lodging, etc. etc.) and I pay taxes to an immoral government and 
vote for immoral politicians.  I buy immoral products and computers made 
in China and, horrors of horrors, I run Linux.

A cheap, competent, albeit immoral domain registrar would not budge the 
meter one bit.
