My email filters must not be working, so I've decided to respond to
4 of your more riduculous comments all at once:

You already are sponsoring ICANN accrediation fees and development costs
with OpenSRS ... you think the $4 markup is all profit?
Unless you are suggesting all RSPs under your registrar pay an equal share
of the ICANN/developement costs, regardless of how many domains they
register? Good luck convincing the Mom-and-Pop RSPs that they should pay
the same as the bigger RSPs (oops, there I go again, telling people how
to run their business).

Tucows/OpenSRS is Canadian.

Are you high? OpenSRS is *not* not-for-profit.
And even it were, "not-for-profit" does not mean "can't-make-money".

Yeah ... damn those capitalist bastards!
Look, if you want to go start your own open registry , I encourage you to
do so. But if you can't research your facts and insist on making false
statements, your credibility is just going to continue going down hill.
