See, that just seems lazy to me. Why would you not go through the process of filling out a text-based form and faxing it to Tucows, when that five minutes of work will get you $10 per domain? If you value your time at $60 per hour, your investment of time would be paid off after just a couple of registrations. > 'little guy' and $7.99 is very decent. On the other hand, you're doing the Internet a disservice by supporting the business of a known spammer. Heck, if we want to be picky, you're providing "spam support services" by purchasing registration from Enom, and could arguably be subject to penalty by MAPS. (Hmm.) But seriously, if the BIG companies (Verislime, UUNET) won't crack down on spam, and the SMALL companies (sitelance.com) are too swayed by a $2 savings to do what's "right", then perhaps it's time I got out of this business and started breeding chickens. The Internet was created because if the cooperation of collection of like-minded individuals. Spam came came about because a smaller group of greedy individuals figured it was alright to steal Internet service and force other people to pay for their advertising (otherwise known as "theft" and "fraud"). Spam continues to exist because companies like Verisign, UUNET and SiteLance feel that it's okay to let people devalue this medium as long as you can pay less. It's like environmentalism. Paper made from 100% recycled fibres is more expensive than paper made from virgin forest. But which one should you be using? Which one ARE you using? And why? > And to the guy who wrote about Enom spam... WTF are you talking about? (WTF > stands for 'what, true friend,) [smile].

Especially if you have no near-personal experience with them. A quick check on NANAE gets us the scoop. Check it out: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&safe=off&q=enom&meta=group%3Dnews.admin.net-abuse.email I myself have several emails sent to various addresses listed as contact records for domains, sent from multiple people who sign their email with the title "Director, Business Development". It's been discussed in depth already, here and I suspect on spam-l also. -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Operations / Abuse / Whatever +1 416 598-0000 it.canada - hosting and development http://www.it.ca/
