Heh.

This sounds a lot like a credit card problem I had a couple months ago. Sent
the payment in *THE DAY I RECEIVED THE STATEMENT*. In fact I got to the post
office that afternoon, retrieved the statement from my PO Box, and since I
had my checkbook with me, I wrote a check and dropped it in the mail.

Two weeks before payment was due.

And got charged a late fee anyhow.

I finally got someone to fess up that there was a computer problem, and in
fact, either this week's (or last week's) ComputerWorld had a blurb about
them screwing up the timely crediting of payments on 700,000 bills.

And they did credit me the late fee, but I had to ask very nicely for them
to "re-age" the account and take the record of the "late payment" off their
books.

Sounds like NSI.

I wonder if NSI is going to reimburse the customers they screwed over by
turning off DNS for their domains. After all, if they knew there was a
problem, shouldn't they have set some flag in their database, or performed
some other operation that would delay the deactivation of the domains?

It really bothers me that there is an IRC channel called #jarjarsex.
