Well, it's domaining-related, but since I really would like to rip these idiots a new arse, I figured I'd put it out of the way of the grown-up industry discussion.
Anyway, in case you guys read NamePros:
Dear Tripod Domains,
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate your alerting me to the pending delete status of the .com variant of a .net domain that I own. I further appreciate your generous offer to help me acquire this domain, and am impressed with your "80% success rate" in such efforts.
However, although I sat at my computer with one finger on the "Reply" button and the other hand on my wallet, it occurred to me that I could just reg the domain myself. I know that it is risky to attempt to register domains without the assistance of a trained professional, but I was feeling a little wild after having watched some reality television, and as luck would have it I enjoyed a 100% success rate in registering.
I attempted to convey this information to you at your website; however, according to your host it has been suspended.
I look forward to future opportunities to work with you. Please continue to advise me when domains in which I might be interested are coming available. This is the most exciting concept I have encountered since I received a telephone solicitation offering to assist me in renewing my soon-to-expire domains for just $49.95 each. I was not even previously aware that a domain could be re-registered by another party once it expires, so this new approach to my domaining business really has me stoked.
