I had heard rumors of NSI doing something like that with domains that were
not being renewed. So NSI is acutally going to do this?

There is a domain from an ISP that is no longer in business that comes due
soon and would like to get it. Will I be able to register it when it comes
up or will the pricks at NSI hold it and auction it off?

Which I completely agree is patently evil....and should not be allowed.
Are any other registrars doing that with domains that are no longer being
used?
