Hi John,

I agreed with what you wrote, but the example you used seem odd:

My WHOIS says that jdhs.com is registered through OpenSRS (although the
nameservers are Dotster's, so it's parked there), and that it expires
March 9, 2003 (not 2002). Not sure which WHOIS you're using...

Dotster thinks it lapsed, but should have first checked that the name
is still with it as registrar (it's not, it was transferred to
OpenSRS).
