Re: [ga] price policy

Junk mail can be sent cheaper than 5 cents when done in bulk and in package
deals that include other mailers in the same envelope, so we get the amount
of junkmail that we would get if it were only 5 cents already.

The comparison you are making has nothing to do with domain names but has to
do with charging for sending email, again, not an ICANN issue.
