At the risk of being redundant, I have to say I agree with Tim here. This was the type of reaction I had, but did not state, when I read the announcement. Perhaps it IS important that it be stated. Not only do I have a vested interest in Tucows's reputation by virtue of their being a major supplier to me, but I also happen to generally like the attitude and image Tucows has tried to put forth over the past few years I've been doing business. It would be a major bummer to see that compromised, and selling (or being perceived to be selling) spam services -- no matter how much hand-waving or rationalization -- is a sure-fire way to put that in jeopardy. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
