As do I.

They do.

Don't believe what the Verisign Registrar tried to claim that
transfers were taking place that were not authorized.  This claim has
been refuted by EVERYONE but them, including the registrants they
cited when asked for examples.

This was nothing but an attempt by Verisign to slow the flow of
outgoing transfers, by engaging in a practice that made if more
difficult to transfer out and has permitted them to collect what must
be huge renewal fees from registrants who have had their transfers
blocked by this practice (which violates the
registry/registrar/accreditation agreements) and have been forced to
renew their domains with Verisign against their will.
