It's not just US$12.50 AFAIK. There are ten domains in question. And that's not much money if one has lots of money in the first place. I do not have such money. Having had only 2 months of paid work in the past ten, it is an expense I an not prepared to meet right now. > That's hardly a drawback, > considering the amount you've spent just trying to get NSI's > problems fixed. Suck it up and do the transfer. My time is free. However frustrating it may be to deal with NSI, it's about my only option. My bank account is empty. If I'd worked all of the past 6 or 7 months, I'd not be hesitating. But having barely kept my house over the past year, I'd rather not spend money if I can avoid it. -- Dan Langille [I'm looking for more work] The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/ FreshPorts - http://freshports.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
