VGRS now claims that:
The "technical problem" regarding deletes was "solved" months ago.
The WLS is now "not a solution for the deletes issue".
The WLS is a separate "product".

If this is the case, and VGRS is so set on "testing" the "value" of WLS, I
propose that the following be mandated to ensure a REAL "test" of the WLS
"product" and not skewing the results with any "deletes" issue.  
1. No WLS subscription may be purchased for any domain name within 30 days
prior to expiration date.
2. No WLS subscription may be purchased for any domain name that has
already passed its expiration date.

Only if the above conditions apply, would the "WLS product" be tested
solely on the merrits of itself and not because of it being "the only game
in town".  This would eliminate speculative domination of the WLS system
and truly allow the mysterious "mainstream users" to show us all just how
much the WLS is "needed by the consumers".
