Please. If you think that was what I was refering to then get your head checked. It was your use of 'intentionally'. An accusation made of someone requesting help.

Regardless? Why regardless? Surely this is important. There will be a lot of people holding domains who will trust this information. If they have 50 domains with 1 registrar are they going to:
(a) do whois checks on all 50 domains?
(b) login to their account and see which ones are showing that they are about to expire?
Probably (b)

Does it seem pretty basic to know exact dates? of 200 domains?
If I was to pick one of your domains and ask you when it is due to expire would you know? or would you login to see? or would you check the whois?
I think a lot of people would do what I did and check in their regisrar's control panel! That's what I did and the information was wrong.

Do you still not believe that some injustice has occurred here?
This is what's baffling to me, especially from your reaction as a lawyer.
Surely as more information comes to light (as it has done in this thread) this is more evidence and yet dispite growing evidence (I spoke about my batch renewal request, checking to see if I had paid for a failed renewal request - which I did pay and have the invoice, control panel screenshots) you still use this thread to provoke rather than understand and help in any constructive way.

I didn't receive anything of use from him. A respectable lawyer would have asked questions without accusing or insulting. I bashed him for implying that I was "intentionally avoiding" saying something.

I'm prepared for constructive answers or questions about what I post, afterall, why else would I post a message about this.
One thing that I will admit is that maybe my post should have gone into a different forum. It is pretty clear now that legal advice on this forum is a joke!
For anyone who is interested, Hostway emailed me as I was typing this and have said that it seems their system failed to 'sync' at the time that the renewal request went through. Therefore, they will waive the redemption fee.
I wouldn't stretch to jberryhill's "cosmic injustice" but it was unfair what was happening. And now it's been resolved (justice).
So maybe the bit of good that this thread may leave is the fact that Hostway will honor a failed renewal request and will pay the redemption fee if the domain gets that far. 
(It also seems as though the control panel showing 300+ days was due to the my renewal and not because they renewed the domain in the redemption period.)
