Yeah. As someone else pointed out, people expect it, and are actually insulted when told they have to pay extra for it. >Unless we can quantify some reasonable demand for this type of a >feature, its always going to fall lower on the priority list than >initiatives with real revenue implications...(that was the faceless >corporation rearing its head). No, that's fair enough. I'd guess you could make a go of it selling it as an add-on, but honestly, I wouldn't resell it; I don't think it's the right thing to do -- doing that just draws attention to the fact that the current privacy situation is awful, which is counterproductive to non-privacy-enhanced sales. If you could somehow swing it so that all Tucows domains were privacy enhanced at no extra charge, I suspect you'd have a land rush, though. -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies http://www.tigertech.net/ "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." -- Darwin
