MrB: Re: TopDomain's $75 fee ...

Well, shoot ... it's obvious to me and several other highly trained business analysts that TopDomain isn't "fully automated". If it were, then they'd be able to charge less per registration because they'd have far fewer employees.

Come on, MrB ... catch up with the rest of us here in the fast lane before the world passes you totally by ...

By the way, FBN only charges $50 for a similar service. It's not "fully automated", so we still have to charge something. All we do is automatically wrap clients' incoming email with our banner and forward it to InterNic. The replies from InterNic are handled the same way then sent back to the original client. Pretty clever, eh?

Occassionally an error slips through, so we don't claim 0% error rate. Yet.

We do have to be careful to continue honoring our Corporate Charter, which is to specialize in doing nothing productive. Thus far, we've been ever so successful.

Humbly report, Bill, dang good point!

But, in the long haul, it depends on what you can sell the mutt for, right?

wow.com for $175 scammed? Bargain! Can I have it? Confirmed try!

http://:www.magneticdiary.com for a $100? Also a buy - you hold it - long!

I remain, humbly dreaming of WOW, by the mail slot of the mail room, virtually near the first arch of the Mala Strana side of Charles Bridge, where they serve great hot rum, gratis for me, yours truly, owner?
