Really???

It should say in the domain form where it was sent from (when they send 
you a verification that its been taken care of and sometimes. atleast 
they used to. attach the origional form to the end).

Not too long ago I had someone from AOL accidently delete one of my 
lesser used domains (was about to start using it again) thankfully it 
wasn't my main one!!  But it was fixed within a few days.. the DNS server 
was changed.

** They need some form of verification, you shouldn't be able to change 
other domains -- I used to think that they at least verified that the 
person sending in the request was one of the contacts.
