Actually, I feel spammed by all the reams of negative email. We all
know opensrs doesn't back down, they are going to have their silly
unused forums, which probably means they can cut out a couple of FTE's
so they look better to potential buyers (tucows IS on the selling block
didn't you know). We have given up. We are now going to recycle all
our domains to a lower priced source( there are only about 250 out there
that fit that profile). Because we all know the while Tucows is
decreasing their services to their resellers, they are not going to
reduce thier prices.
