It saves alot of time and...

you are trying to dupe the public into thinking that regular size 20lb paper is similar to 80lb paper. business cards are 80lb paper and they function quite well. what do staples have to offer?

As a business owner, I've long felt that unions are a sham and a disgrace. They are the primary reason COG rises disproportionately. They are the reason companies lay off, don't hire more, etc. Pretending and masquerading that they're acting in the best interest of the employees is a complete farce. Well, Wal-mart (of all places) set an example all businesses should follow. 190 employees at a Quebec Wal-mart decided they were...

I am not a union person nor do I have any sort of real study on the situation. I just think it's a joke that people really...

We Canadians are relatively lucky, because from almost a full decade of experience, few CIRA-certified registrars actually fail us big time, but you never know. Perhaps your small number of domains helps. If you have gone through enough incidents of registering, modifying, and/or transferring domains, you will...

It depends on how articulate you are? If you have a good sense of what kind of policy and charges you want to follow, and presentable grammar & writing, you can do it yourself using templates that are widely available, on the Internet, bookstore or business support organizations. I've written policy documents on a number of occasions, usually in collaboration with other members of groups. Some have been vetted by lawyers and some...

I was pissed and hung up immediately. Helcim was honest with what they were doing, they had a higher % rate but lower fees. Make sure you ask about ALL...
