Do you remember the webpage where that sig was generated? 

Also speaking as a domain owner for personal uses, I'd just let my domain
expire and then register it elsewhere besides network solutions.  Network
solutions worked for me but their plain email security is very poor and
I've heard of them fudging up change requests in the more complex security
methods.  Just give me a registrar that allows me to ssh in and change the
record myself :)
