All,

 I second that motion.  I had oneof my domain names registered with
 Network Solutions and it came up to the expiration date and I didn't
 get the payment off in time.  It wound up being 1 week late, so they
 removed tis particular domain name from the active list.  When I inquired
 about getting it reactivated, they said I had no grace period and that
 I had to pay $75.00 to get it reinstated plus I had to reregister it
 for no less than 3 years for a total cost of just under $200.00.
 I basically told them to take a long walk off a short pier and I moved
 my other domain names to another registrar. (GoDaddy).
 I haven't regretted doing this either.  The registration costs are way
 less and the service is much better.  It's a no brainer.

                                         Regards,

                                           Jim
