For those w/o easy access to Tucows financial statements... I'm looking at the balance sheet on page F-4 of the Tucows 2002 Annual Report. For the year ended Dec 31, 2002, "Prepaid Expenses and Deposits" was $1,951,086 and "Customer Deposits" was $1,957,657. Feel free to go look up more current info on your favorite financial site.

Sorry for not being explicit enough. I am disputing what you said. We have to pay the registry in advance.

As for amounts on deposit, our financial statements are public. You may want to compare "Prepaid expenses and deposits" with "Customer deposits" I suspect you will find it revealing.

Considering the intellectual level of your posting you'd still be dead poor.

Base registry contracts have been open and online as long as they have
existed under ICANN.

I guess you didn't notice that elliot's post was not disputing anything
I said but added that they pay a heavy deposit.

Think two seconds later how much they have in deposit from resellers.

The creaking of great hinges pierces the silence as Bill opens The
Magnificent Capitalism Rule Book ...

Rule #13 -- Those who don't take the risks get to make wild paranoid
accusations about those who do.

As the blanket of silence softly returns to The Great Hall of The
Magnificent Capitalism Rule Book, Bill wonders how rich he
would be if he
had a nickle for every nitwit who has accused him of making
vast fortunes
from his free, open source, whois program.
