Mr.B:

It is expensive considering the small cost of transmitting a small electronic data base. It would be fairer to charge more for the initial inputing and file storage and let people buy blocks of three or four school applications. Fairer for the consumer but not for the corporation.



Thanks Mr. B, this is exactly what I was trying to say when I posted the following. Your explanation is much clearer and concise than mine :), so I hope the other adults will understand that this is the only issue the students who posted on this thread were trying to make from the very beginning.

"So if you need to file a css profile, its back to CB. $23 for EACH profile (not $18 btw) – its the same information, come on, just how many times do they have to “process” it? Really, its just a PDF file of your information which they pass on electronically – its not like CB does the actual number crunching or use FedEx for delivery each time. IMO the service doesn’t merit the charge, especially in the case of the profile, where CB is just a “middle man”.

I agree with you that it all comes down to choices. You said it in a very nice way, thank you!
