Thanks for the responses to my bringing up this subject. Essentially what I
gather is that some people feel that Tucows is a White Hat organization while
others feel that Enom is a cesspool. There are disagreements about the
veracity of both sides but neither has given any facts to support either
position. So that brings me back to my original question of What
distinguishes Tucows these days from Microsoft or Verisign?

Saying that they are ethical is an opinion. Showing in what way (what would
be useful for me and others) is what I'd like to hear if possible. Because
an organization started out one way does not mean it has remained true.

I would consider working with a good organization a benefit and I'd probably
pay more to do so. But everyone says they are good guys - even Microsoft has
their evangelizers and I've seen people shill for large companies on
newsgroups before. "Ethical business practices" is great but in real life
what are specific examples of this?

Getting past the mudslinging and forgetting about enom for the moment, what
is so great specifically about Tucows/OpenSRS? I don't want to start any
futher flaming. I'd just like to know if anyone has any specific examples
from present day? Anecdotal stuff such as about spamming or not spamming is
not really a specific example unless specifics are provided.
