Truly sad.  I personally liked the service... I'm prone to typoz (did I
mean typos?) with every sentence I write.

about all of these issues that are known in advance."

By the time this arrives, others will probably have posted the same.
Knowing that I might clog up the list with me-too's, I believe it's

And they act like they're the victims.  Amazing.

"Without so much as a hearing, ICANN today formally asked us to shut
down
the Site Finder service," said VeriSign spokesman Tom Galvin. "We will
accede to their request while we explore all of our options."

How about a public outcry?  Did you miss that part?  You don't deserve a
hearing.

Of course, they haven't removed the wildcard yet:
