Actually, I don't think you *do* echo my sentiments. My point is that the referral list simply isn't a "problem" that's worth the bandwidth that has been spent on it on this list. If OpenSRS put it prominently on the front page of their site, I still don't think it would lead to any real business for ANYBODY.
I'll say it again: The people browsing the OpenSRS website are *NOT* looking for a reseller. They couldn't give a rip what resellers are out there except perhaps to size up their competition. (Try a Google search for "buy domain name" -- OpenSRS isn't even in the top 50) There are easier and more effective ways to find people who want to register a domain or two than by asking those who are browsing a wholesaler's website. It's like going to a cattle auction (<wink>) and asking around to see if you can sell a steak to anybody there at retail prices. IMHO, the reseller list and any "issue" about who is or isn't on it is a red herring.
