This illustrates why OpenNIC must provide DNS
services for it's TLDs. Not doing so is just
a tease for people who run into this dead end
and don't have the resources, time, or interest,
to get so far into it.

Again, and I know this is inflammatory to some,
TLD operators MUST provide DNS services or I'll
just call them a scam.
