This would incur a 20 cent/domain fee for return of the domain inside the
grace period, yes? that would add a slow drain to the taster's
pocketbooks, is that slow-drain enough to make tasting less profitable? or
'not profitable'? If so, then yes probably it'd slow tasting or end it.
I don't think that a 'processing fee' is abnormal on returned items so
that might even sit well enough with grandma-jones (in my example).
