i would like to ask, if you have had any accidents with your head lately?

I think so. Domains actually delete and then, if there seems to be a demand for it, several registrars try to nab it quickly (within a millisecond).

If you're thinking of hand-registering a domain after it deletes (and it's a good one) good luck, you'll need very fast fingers or a hell of a lot of luck. Your best bet is to go with a few dro-catch services (Pool, SnapNames, GoDaddy, etc..). Most won't charge you (except GoDaddy) until they catch the name (GoDaddy charges you before hand (but it's cheap) and if they odn't get it they give you a credit for another catch).

yes...except for the tons that NETSOL auto-renew to pass them to NameJet behind the lights...

Domains with status PENDINGDELETE really drop and are re-registered.
Domains with another status are special Snapnames or Lamejet pre-release.

so what is the right sequence:
1.pre-release
2.delete
3.relese

right?
