I know what you mean.
My point is why take the risk? There are more 'reputable' registrar around. After all there are a lot of threads here with the newbies in mind. I just can't see why they or anyone should get a domain from godaddy.
Maybe you can give us 1 good reason why you think it's better to register a domain or use any of their service at Godaddy? That 1 thing that no one else can do better than Godaddy and at a better price.
If there are crybabies, I haven't seen much crying about namecheap or moniker.
If you're not convinced, how about you tell me the domain you treasure most and I'll see if I can get them to take it from you or at least charge you $199 to reactivate it? I've not done it before but after reading about it so much, it sure doesn't sound too difficult.
Cheers!
