[Hidden-tech] Be aware of "Front-running" by Network Solutions

[Marcia Yudkin]

Charles,

Thanks for the alert!  Since my naming company has to query
for dozens and sometimes hundreds of domain names for every
naming assignment, I'll be sure to tell all of our namers
never to use Network Solutions for checking domains.  It
sure would be embarrassing to clear domains for a client
and then have the client find that they're all taken.
