I said the >>>RSP<<< neded to do the value add, not have the value add
handed to them by OpenSRS, which them makes the value add no longer a
value add, since every generic RSP site will have it.  It benefits
OpenSRS, sure, but it negatively effects the RSPs who have worked
(emphasis on the word WORKED) to distinguish themselves and make their
service more than just a generically installed set of scripts.

The only thing left to compete on that point becomes price. This
then drives the prices down, and cheapens not only the value of the
value added service we and others have been providing, but of the
registration service itself.

How will you distinguish your service, David, when everyone who can
hire a script kid for $50 to install and pass the RITE test for them
is offering these services at $11 or $12 a pop?
