[BNM] Domain Backorders

[delarge]

Hello Steve & Ben

I am looking to 'snatch' a domain as soon as it expires as I swear the guy
who runs it hasn't updated the site for about 4 years and I'm gagging for
his domain... he doesn't reply to my emails....

Would I be looking to do the same thing you guys are doing...? Not sure what
the whole backordering thing is about - I don't want to back order - I want
to snatch :-)
