William, trying to have a discussion with you is like
talking to a brick wall.
We have always had clients with OpenSRS and still have a
large number of clients with OpenSRS and with
BulkRegister.com. We service those clients when they have
problems, to the best of our ability. We renew these
domains as they come due. We have never stated that we
would not handle our clients at OpenSRS.
Plus we recently bought a small hosting company that was
using OpenSRS. We have left that site as it is so it still
offers OpenSRS registrations. We plan on slowly integrating
those clients and that web site into our regular operation,
after they have had time to become accustom to us as service
providers.
At one time we did stop offering OpenSRS for new domains.
But we received feedback from some of our clients that had
domains registered with OpenSRS through us that they wanted
to continue to use OpenSRS so all their domains would be at
one place.
So we added pages to our site for BulkRegister.com, OpenSRS
and eNom.com. We now offer the general public their choice
of the three registrars. We have an FAQ that discuss each
one and we leave the final decision to the client.
If they ask and many do, we recommend enom.com. But we do
not refuse to register their domains with either
BulkRegister.com or OpenSRS if that is their choice.
If you are interested, 10% now chose BulkRegister.com, 14%
chose OpenSRS and the rest eNom.com. These numbers are from
the last four months, when we started to offer all three
registrars on our site. If you visit eNom.com web pages
you can see why.
However this is for the general public, i.e., non-hosting
clients.
We do not use OpenSRS for the domains that we own nor for
the domains of our hosting clients.
We pay for the new registrations of hosting clients or the
renewal fees of existing domains as long as they are hosted
with us. But only if the domain name is transferred to our
account with eNom.com. Otherwise the hosting client pays
their own renewals.
And you would be surprised how many hosting clients elect to
pay their own renewals and keep their domains registered at
Network Solutions.
Things change. Times change. In six months somebody might
buy us out. So what was said six months ago is not always
what is valid today. Or what was said yesterday. Not even
with OpenSRS. Or doesn't anybody remember their reversal on
the $2 rebates?

No, I just have a hard time keeping your changing stories
straight.

Yet, previously you have said:
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0012/0452.html
"I did not say that you should register your domains with
Tucows, in
fact I have made it clear in previous messages that we no
longer use
them ourselves, but for reasons other than pricing."
You've said it also in at least 5 other messages more recent
than that
one as well, when you've been harping on this same issue.
Now you say you do still register names through them.
Frankly, I wish you would just make up your mind.
Or keep your stories straight.
