I called Verisign/Network Solutions now regarding the domain: palacechat.com and why it is still not available when it expired over a year ago. At first the tech told me he could tell me why, then he said.. "I was just informed I cannot provide you with why it is locked, and when it will be available." does anyone find this odd, and any ideas what to do about it
