Re: [gnso-irtp-b-jun09] Double secret lock?

Having said that 

I have bought domains on NameJet 

Elliot's blog post does not make any sense and does not reflect how things 
normally happen. While he may have the best intentions in the world, he's 
actually describing a situation that would not arise.

If a domain was with Netsol and ended up on Namejet and you won it at auction 
then you'd end up with the domain on a Netsol account.

If the domain was with eNom and you won it at auction it would end up on an 
eNom account AND they would apply an "auction lock"

What he's describing is NOT what has happened to me in the past and is not a 
reflection of the reality that I have experienced
