Len, So why do you have a domain name if you can't "afford it"? Don't tell me you can't afford paying $50/year? That's a year! If you've been spending all of your money every month and thinks that's expensive, then perhaps you're not meant to be on the internet. --- Rudy Amid (rudy@hcl.com), Systems "I'm IT!"

It's not about a free lunch.. It's called no involvement in the decision making process beforehand. I don't want to start any sort of flame war despite what it may appear -- seeing my domain on hold upset me. It is at least 11 years old.. I won't be able to afford my network space soon too if things keep going.

Not we. We don't expect a free lunch.
