Frank,

On $8 procurement, the $2 rebate was a 25% profit not 20%!

Like on the $6 registry fee, a $4 addon is a 66.66% profit; a $2 addon used
to halve it to 33.33%.

Uh, hello? Have you read the new agreement? The $2 rebate is history, my
friend. It's a straight 10 buckeronees now. I really wonder how one can
just change agreements and payment terms unilaterally like that, when many
people and companies probably based their pricing and business plans on the
extra $2 (I mean, that's a 20 percent difference. Some companies' profit
margins are not 20 percent.)

Anyone else have thoughts on this? Not that it probably will make much
difference anyway . . .
