Register.com - Worst Domain Registrar Ever

I hate register.com seriously they have to be the worst ever domain registrar. Years ago (like 6) I used them to register domains back when they were 70$ for 2 years. I only have a about 14 domains left with them. After wasting ONE HOUR on hold just trying to get a auho code to transfer a domain I just lost it. 1) They charge 35$ a year for domains. 2) They call your phone number listed for each domain constatly trying to sell you shit (this really bugs me). I have asked them several times to stop and they dont. 3) There interface sucks 4) They waste tons of your time when you could be productive at other stuff (hold times, solicitation(s), shitty interface) 5) If/When you do want to transfer a domain out of there system they make you call to get a auth code (instead of just logging in like every other registrar) 6) If/When you do want to transfer a domain out of there system they make you call to get a auth code but instead of just giving it to you first you have to explain to them why your leaving to which of course they have a answer for everything (aka its a "security feature") just pissing you off more. 7) If it wasnt for the fact they own register.com i doubt anyone would ever got there 8) They charge 35$ a year for domains. 9) There auth codes when you finally do get them from the person on the phone are 16 digits long... uhhhh nice one (good luck not getting anything lost in translation) 10) They make you call them to do about anything on there site. And when you call they answer the phone "Thanks for calling register.com can I sell you x, x, x, or x. Its like they went to the Taco Bell school of annoying you.
