I wonder if there are 100's or more resellers using the RWI? The intention (install code) you speak of was always a mistake, in my opinion. I'll bet there's a wide range of people that are opensrs domain resellers. If there isn't, then perhaps limitations of the RWI is one reason that that is so. Installing code, writing code, massaging code, hacking code,... is for coders. There's a huge amount of people interested in domain name purchases, reselling, and domain protection, that aren't coders. Other than a few issues which i'd like to see finally resolved, the RWI has been an excellent tool for me. That coupled with Opensrs's HQ being a bike ride away, Elliott, Ross, Erol, Adrian, Peter, anyone i've missed, the folks in payments and the dozens of others who i've never met that keep things running smoothly enough for me,... i'm happy to have paid a premium on domains/renewals for the peace of mind i've had over the years as an Opensrs customer. ( Oh yeah, add Chuck D, even though he's no longer on the payroll.) As for installing the code... i'm not interested. As for ending Cannabis Prohibition and getting the Chinese Government to immediately withdraw their soldiers and sadistic secret police from Tibet,... i'm very interested. Heck, let's throw in a global/local increase in meaningful dialogue and reduction in violence and reduction in spending on armaments. Somebody needs to smoke some Organic tobacco. Isn't it a blue /full moon tonight or something?! That might explain a few things. take care, :-) Swerve
