Verisign's cheap marketing tricks

For months, our CTO has been complaining about Verisign sending him warnings that his domain names are going to expire -- but he has months before they expire. Today, I received this in the email (emphasis mine):

As a courtesy to our customers, we are sending this summary notification of the domain name and services that are due to expire in 2003. When you renew today, you can take advantage of our best savings. Your registration for OVIDINEXILE.COM and services will expire on 11/16/03. Act now.
