Robert, I need to dig a bit deeper on something you said:
"This is a choice between acting ethically or taking money I
wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole"?
I would like to understand this a bit better, and let me be clear up
front. I do not agree.
First, I would like to park the email marketing service discussion here.
It will be responded to separately, which is more appropriate.
When I read the above statement there are two possible threads that come
to mind for me, the "opt-in vs. opt-out" discussion related to expiring
names and our offering of blogware and website building tools (the
"tucows is getting into hosting" discussion). Are their others? If so,
please identify. If it is those two then I would like to further examine
both.
I will start the ball rolling with a statement. To me, in twelve months
there will be no question that registrars who are "opt-out" with respect
to expiring names will be clearly seen as making the ethical decision,
the one that takes the customers best interests into account and that
"opt-in" will be seen for what it is. Acting in the interests of the
registrar or reseller NOT the customer.
Regards
Elliot Noss

(Why is it that many of my postings to this list in the last year boil
down to "This is a choice between acting ethically or taking money I
wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole"? That can't be a good sign.)
Make that the last 2+ years and we're getting closer.
You were here at the start, like some of us, with totally different ideas as
to what it now has turned into, I guess this is another cleansing of those
that think that way.
