I'm curious what the commercials look like with regards to this. Do your service contracts have a discretionary termination clause that governs the commercial decisions based on your feelings being hurt?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><br>You've misunderstood my position - I also find the concept of monetising address space / domain names / whatever to be a grubby business. The only place I think our position differs is that I can understand and accept that whether I like it or not people are going to do it.<br>
