Short form: yes, it was good, and please continue to do it.
Long form: I think it was a good idea. I don't think that this list needs
to be as stringent about staying on topic -- we all have (or should have)
the ability to filter messages so we can keep this list seperate from our
important stuff, so it shouldn't really be an issue.

Well, that was my impression and I'm going to share the answer to it to:
Short form: Not as they have proposed.
Long form: I believe William X. Walsh covered this quite well -- why ask a
company with dubious character to provide a service that surely OpenSRS
could provide directly, or provide the hooks for the RSP to do so itself.
As you may have noted in my previous e-mails with Cameron, I really don't
like the idea of paying (or having "store credit") for something I didn't
receive.

necessarily the case. I believe the idea he has is that there would be a
seperate interface for a SnapName product, which the customer would be
referred to if they need the product.
