First, there is no reason to get nasty. I did not call anyone stupid.
I stated that I am a nice guy but draw the line at stupid, meaning that being TOO NICE is the same thing as being stupid.
I did not say that someone losing a domain was stupid.
I stated the facts as I know them and my opinion that someone doing what Mark described is NOT in my opinion, necessarily an asshole.
In the search you posted, one item seemed to be about what we are talking about (expired domains) and the link it went to is down, so I can not see what you are talking about.
It does not take much to keep a domain list organized in a spreadsheet or even a text file. I have at times had over 500 domains, right now I have about 100 or so, spread between 4 registrars.
I have never lost a domain because of an expiration. I check about once a month and renew anything coming up in the next 30 days. Right now I am not doing that because at the end of last year I had extra money so I renewed all my domain through May or June and I don't have to worry about it.
I would never depend on the registrar telling me the domain was going to expire. It is MY job to run my business properly.
nuff said.
Again, just my
