circleid.com — I work for Network Solutions and we have been responding to questions about the new customer protection measure we have in place. This measure is geared for our customers. It gives them a chance to look for domains consider if it’s what they want and then have an opportunity to register it.

Good to know somebody's looking out for #1 (that's me btw - I'm always #1). I always wondered about this...ha! And I thought being a front runner was a good thing.

Def, as i've said before, if netsol's price is such a concern, then stop using their site to look up domains if you weren't going to buy them in the first place

So wait, let me understand your thought process...You say that Network Solutions deserves to be sued by preventing someone from front-running a domain searched for on the networksolutions.com website. You're implying that people use networksolutions.com to search for available domains or do whois lookups on them, and then register them elsewhere.If the other registrars sites are so great, why are the searches not performed on the site on which they are intending to purchase them on? This is honestly a non issue to true NSI customers.

You are front-running crooks. Period. No amount of spin will change what this program is. It was only 2003 when Verisign/NSI decided they would f**k over the internet standards and have all unregistered .com's point their parked page.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_Finder">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_Finder</a>So lose the f**king spin, NSI have taken every opportunity they can to f**k over consumers.

So effectively, they're saying that they don't want the tasters to steal their products, so they front-run before the other low-lives do...Considering their track record (remember when they abused their privileges as the .COM registry to leave PPC ads on mistyped domains? - <a class="user" href="http://bcn.boulder.co.us/~neal/ietf/verisign-abuse.html)">http://bcn.boulder.co.us/~neal/ietf/verisign-abuse ...</a> it's a wonder they're still in business... Wonder how much they're slipping ICANN under the table if they can keep getting away with this kind of crap!

This tactic falls more along the lines of "extortion" than "assistance".I don't believe for one second this was implemented to help your customers. What a blatant and obvious copout. You're taking away their choice at the very first opportunity.
