Solely to Clarify.

*I may or may not be a registrar*.
If I *were* a registrar, I would:

Sell domains and products directly to the public.
Offer *every* product for a resale discount to those who bought more than
one or two from me.

Not use my resellers client list to Spam at.
Encourage my resellers to spam their client list with my resaleable
products, -grin-.

Support my resold products, and if a resellers client rang, encourage them
to go to the reseller for further products.

  Hi DRS,
 interesting comment from you.  (whoever you are).   not sure who you mean
by " these people",  but  I hope it wasn't me or the other resellers.

As resellers, wWe know that we all compete in the same space - with each
other and with the other registrars.  That is obvious.  it's accepted and
it's the way it is.  no probs.  no arguments.

Sean's point is that if he was a registrar with a channel, he would NOT
market to his reseller's clients.

this is the point of this whole issue.    that is the primary BAD practice
that needs to be stopped.

imho, this practice would not be done by an ethical and honourable registrar
looking after his channel resellers.


cheers
richard

What concerns me is that Enetica (and others) think it
