So I guess I can understand the logic behind ICANN's 5-day refund policy. Of course, there are those who abuse any return policy. But when a teen-age girl, for example, returns the formal dress she bought after wearing it to the special occasion, the harm is pretty much limited to those involved in that transaction. Domain kiters and snappers, on the other hand, spread the hurt to lots of folks. It's time ICANN recognized the difference and changed their 5-day refund policy.
