And your lack of...
Excuse me? The Site Finder annoyance is fine, just as it is. But the problem everyone likes to dance around defending this complete annoyance is that VeriSign does not have the rights to monopolize all dead or 'outstanding' domains. It MUST at the very least allow other Registrars to appear or advertise on that page. Precendece? Huge Anti-trust violations. It's that simple. Verisign bought Network Solutions. NS had more control in the beginning because the Net as it was then only existed in the US. The blatent ignorance that it would never grow and should be owned and run by the US seems to have given Verisign the impression they own all the .com, .net and .org domains? No way. They were given the rights to maintain records and administrate, but not own by any means. The entire thing has grown far beyond just the US and Verisign needs to back off putting the Site Finder anywhere.

Oh yes, for those who actually know the deal, let's talk about NS/Verisign's abuse of old and former domains? So they can sit on domains for up to a year, preventing their resale, and then they get to stick Site Finder in place to advertise one of the highest domain prices on the market?

Time fo rme to take a vacation from reality, this is insanity at it's finest.
