"Look how good you have it now" is not a valid excuse for incompetence.
You probably meant "You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear."
Ehud
"They" didn't raise the bar. "They" committed to meeting
the requirements of running the registration portion of InterNIC.
"They" are incompetent bufoons, their staff unaware of their
own rules, their web pages misinforming us, 'their clients',
and their processes breaking down under stress.
It's not up to us to excuse them from this incompetence by
making solipsistic references to a bygone era where 'Teengs Was Bad'
but to demand excellence and insist on it.
Unfortunately, with Network Solutions, it's clear the real Solution
is to replace them.
