May i add a correction here, supplier take less profit, so that i can
survive. Yes, sure it is for OpenSRS to decide, no arguement about that. And
how about we requesting OpenSRS to consider his prices, is that too wrong ?
C'mon friend, this debate has stretched uncomfortably longer with people
against price hike still offer any new agrument except barking again and
again go else somewhere, quality of service etc. Although there was one very
credible argument regarding opensrs being based in usa and canada.
