I dunno about you guys, but the money I've deposited into openSRS was pretty
much determined by me. (sometimes by my available credit but that's another
tangent)
IE how much or how little of 'my' money they have is _my_ choice, so
extending that out, why should I care how much they have on deposit overall?
If you don't want them to make interest money, then by all means tighten
your own process to add money and do some sort of Just IN Time scheme.
But complaining that OpenSRS may have a good business plan seems odd to me.
Don't we want them to succeed? And not just for altruistic reasons either,
I mean, personally, I want OpenSRS to be a capitalistic powerhouse, and
crush Verisign under Ross's Lawyer's assistant's boot. Maybe at the point
that Verisign is irrelevant, then ICANN might start making sense. And I
know I'd rather have a 'greedy' OpenSRS-type organization running things
than the greedy AND evil one we have now.
