Network Solutions is $35/year.  We charge our customers $50 for a two
year registration.

Your point being what?  That we should charge more to send our bigger
clients to a registrar that will compete directly against us for
webhosting, etc.?

Easier than making beer, maybe.  Easier than selling, transfering, or
buying domain names with the registrars we use?  Absolutely NOT.  Please
don't make unsupportable statements.

All registrations are listed in WHOIS.  Even the ones that are NOT
registered at Network Solutions.

For example:  Go to "http://www.networksolutons.com/";.  Click on "WHOIS
Lookup".  Enter "nobaloney.net" (without the quotes, of course), and
click on Search.  There we are, in whois.  And we did NOT register with
Network Solutions.

All the above considered, what's your point?
