As mentioned earlier, I decided to drop GoDaddy as my domain registrar. Little did I know they would spend three weeks throwing up every obstacle possible, re-locking my domain after I unlocked it for the transfer, and wasting as much time as possible effecting the change. In the interim, they redirected my domain to a page covered with their ads. I should have expected no better from such a filthy, worthless company. To describe my feelings toward them with any more precision would run contrary to the spirit of this blog.
Welcome back from the depths of filth. Some friends of mine were trying to choose a host this week, and I successfully pointed them away from GoDaddy, thanks to your decision.
