My personal domain name, originally registered way back when with the
InterNIC, is coming up for renewal again, and I'd really like to find
a registrar other than Network Solutions.  Has anyone had any positive
experience with the alternate registrars out there?

Some additional criteria:
- I'd need one that's end-user oriented, so places like bulkregister.com
  wouldn't fit the bill.
- I'd also like to use a US-based company for this (no offense to non-US
  folks, but if something goes wrong, I want to raise a ruckus on the
  phone in English :-)

I haven't had any problem with Network Solutions, but I'd like to support
competition (monopolies...BAD!).  Further, I find NSI/Verisign's plan
to take abandoned domains an auction them off rather than put them back
in the pool patently evil.
