Re: [cobalt-users] what the hell kind of crap is this???

That really is none of their business!.  The contract is with you and only you.
Your customers are just that - your customers.  If you purchase what you use then
so what?  I feel that they are up to something.  For example, many of my client
domain names are registered with my e-mail address.  I get many "come host with
us" offers from Register.com, Tucows.com, BulkRegister.com, etc...   Now, I see
that Network Solutions is trying to host clients at the time of registration.
They are making it harder for us to just register and change the DNS settings.
So far, I have not received any "switch to us" offers from Network Solutions via
e-mail.
