Huh? Just what don't I get here? You think I'm against the drop market? That's
nonsense. I love it. Defend it.

What I'm suggesting here is that Tucows engage in the drop market in a way
that empowering users, rather that simply extract maximum value for themselves
as does Pool, Snap, and Enom. What ever happened to loyality?

You realize that Enom already has a high bidder at the drop, yet they continue
the auction afterwards to ensure THEY gain maximum benefits. Who are they
REALLY thinking of?
