I think that George hit the nail on the head earlier - the key benefit is probably the high worth of the referral from a Google links point of view

After following the hundreds of e-mails on this subject, I get the feeling that there is an assumption that the referral list is a really great thing, and by being on it opens some floodgates of customers flocking to your site. Well, I hate to break the bubble, but in the real world, that just isn't the case. The referral list just isn't all its cracked up to be, or at least assumed to be by the ones "not on the list". I say trash the referral list concept. It's useless. Instead provide some type of "seal" for the reseller's who want or for some reason need third party confirmation that they really are a tucows reseller... --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
