I actually ended up taking a moral stand on the grounds that they were trying to hijack my domain by demanding extra proof that I am who I said I was beyond controlling the email address and password I used to create the domain. (I'm not sure what they planned on comparing my documentation _to_. They were also talking about charging me something like three years of registration as an 'exit' fee. Luckily for the rest of my domains, the changes which mean 'no denial' == 'transfer' came through before I had any other domains expire.) This all started because their ecommerce system started rejecting my visa card, and their support stopped responding for nearly a full year after replying with "try it again, works fine here". -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 8th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au "No survivors?
