     ~0.05% of domains registered at GoDaddy. Daily losses due to expiry must be lots higher than that.

     @mlinksva @rysiek Good to know. (Makes it hard not to take a "why bother" kinda attitude, though)

     @maiki I thought their name was suspect long before hearing anything else about them. Never a customer.

     @mlinksva, weren't the sexist commercials & the fact they sponsor the "Linux Action Show" enough of a reason to leave #GoDaddy bf. #SOPA?

     @bkuhn yes. as I said, I've never used them. admit to not prev being motivated enough to check on domains I'm not directly responsible for.

     @bkuhn glad to hear they did once release code, sad to hear no more, and I guess will eventually be an indistinguishable company...
