When responding to emails, or composing a new email, one has to be careful about the recipient’s address being correct.<\/p>\n

Back then, domain transfers from one registrant to another required the signing of documents, and I had to notarize stuff and mail it off to Singapore, and then all this was sent to Network Solutions. The process took 3 weeks to complete!<\/p>\n
