I'd put forth that having public mailing lists that we provide to allow open
and honest discussion is one of the factors that sets us apart.

Subject: Re: 2 more Q's- Affiliate/Mirrors
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.
