I'm actually in the middle of a domain name grab right now. It's
actually supposed to happen today, strangely enough. There's been a
PENDINGDELETE status on this particular domain name for a few days now,
the actual delete is supposed to happen today. When it does, hopefully
I'll be able to snag it -- through Godaddy.

There was a long grace period of a few months. Different Registars have
different rules for the grace periods.

Just be patient and lurk quietly in the shadows. When it happens,
POUNCE!
