First, how can you claim that Afilias will offer competition, when, on day one, the only registrars will be their own? Read their application again - they don't admit non-member registrars. They've said they will, but give no timeframe. So you are factually incorrect here.

As for the financials, finally, a substantive comment backed-up with a fact. Yes, you're right, our financials in the optimistic group supposed that we'd be the only registrar for the first 6 months (not the first year). But read on into the less-than-optimistic pro formas. They show what happens when we're not. They also scale for other prices. In all cases, we are still stable.

As opposed to Afilias, who looses money each and every quarter for the first FOUR YEARS, even at their current pricing levels.

Thank you for finally bringing up a substantive point, and allowing me to show that it is not the problem that you and others assume that it is.

What else can we discuss?
