That is true.  Mr. Bayles seems to be at the hub of most of what I know
about deleting domain names circa 1998-9. Plus, he's a nice guy.

That may be.  Particularly since most people were attempting to keep their
methods as trade secrets, but the circle kept growing until it became a
contest among registrars (and rumors of rooms full of Korean girls furiously
banging away at keyboards around drop time).

102 has several sections other than (b).  There are also some old NSI
consultants and registry folks running around on the loose that might also
have a few leads.

It is always good to be nice to those from whom one has obtained an
assignment of a pending application, that is certain.
