I agree. But hey.. I'd rather they fixed the problem first before
telling us in depth what the actual problem _was_. At least we got
an email (from Chris, rather than a west.net representative, but
thats more than enough for me at least) saying that there were issues,
and when they were resolved.

I'm expecting some form of explanation as to what happened, but more
out of curiousity's sake. That way, the registry operators (whomever
they become) can learn from the problems that occured today.

Its not like .com/.net/.org/.etc don't lose domains periodically
(or at least have done so quite noticeably in the past..)

my 2c,



Adrian
