"No, this helps the large reseller get larger and does NOTHING for the
smaller reseller to get to the magic 1000 domains or 100 per month."

After following the hundreds of e-mails on this subject, I get the feeling
that there is an assumption that the referral list is a really great
thing, and by being on it opens some floodgates of customers flocking to
your site. Well, I hate to break the bubble, but in the real world, that
just isn't the case. The referral list just isn't all its cracked up to
be, or at least assumed to be by the ones "not on the list".

I say trash the referral list concept. It's useless. Instead provide
some type of "seal" for the reseller's who want or for some reason need
third party confirmation that they really are a tucows reseller...
