So how many drops have there been during the grace period for dot org since 
the 20 cent fee. You say it's proven so there should be some proof of that 
somewhere. If it has decreased it is simply because they are the only ones 
doing it and the others are still free to drop. Once all tlds take on the 20 
cent fee they wioll be back doing it again because the playing field will 
then be even. It's like alarm systems. If one house on the block has one, 
burglars will choose another easier house to break into. If all the houses 
had alarm systems, burglars would go ahead and break into houses with alarm 
systems. They would not suddenly decide not to be burglars.
