Have you ever had a good idea and found it available, and gone back another day to try to register? I just tried a different pc, not logged in, and Netsol does show it as available. Interesting ethical dilemma - but not doing it seems like it might be bad business...

A consumer can't price-shop for a domain registrar if the domain is locked down. 2) This policy puts a restraint on free commerce. 3) It allows Network Solutions to "taste domains" that they would not ordinarily be able to.
