The problem here is, Bob..

People ARE selecting their own domain name ideas, putting into NS's search box to see if it's available.

Network Solutions is then skimming this info, locking up the domain under their own banner, then charging you $35 (3+ times original fees) to let you have something that was your idea anyway!

So, in the long run IMHO, they're just stealing your idea before you can even file on it.

That's why I've gone to using other methods that are not tracked.
