"Last year, I registered the domain larrypress.net with Network
Solutions (NS). I had no immediate use for the name, so I opted for
automatic renewal and forgot about it. On September 28, 2012, I
received an email from NS saying they would automatically renew the
registration some time in the next 90 days. (I checked later -- the
expiration date was January 12, 2013). Some time later, I remembered
the pending expiration, and renewed. My credit card company notifies
me of online charges, and I received an email saying NS had charged
$37.99. That struck me as mistakenly high, so I tried to stop the
transaction using email." -- Larry Press
