normally i don't "me too!" but just for the sake of being counted as
one of the gouged, "me, too!" i had this *exact* same experience,
except that the domain i was trying to register (more than 6 months
exired) was eventually registered by someone using myname.com.
the upside? this prompted me to get off my lazy butt and stop using
netsol to register our 10 or so domains/month for customers. we are
working with opensrs now. (in the process of getting contracts
reviewed, etc., and should be fully migrated away from using netsol in
about 30 days.)
