[conspire] Domain expirations, domain speculators

[Rick Moen]

The other shoe drops.  All good, apparently.

It's lastingly unclear why Dotster continues to show "Status:
AUTORENEWPERIOD", rather than one of the regular registered-domain 
statuses, on the advogato.org domain's WHOIS entry, 25 days after
renewal, but probably I'll never get the solution to that mystery.

Thanks guys for being on top of this, and sorry for not responding
earlier.  I just logged onto my dotster account, and from what I can
see, the relevant domains are all still registered to me, with an
expiration date of 09/22/2010 and auto-renew set on. I also have a
domain auto-renewal invoice from them, dated Sep 2, with info about them
having billed my credit card.  So I think it should be okay, and if they
do think the domain is expired, I should have a pretty strong case they
should give it back.

Take care,

Raph
