"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. The public are just critics: "Critics say that VeriSign abused its monopoly power over the registries" And we're a "close-knit group" who're spouting overblown claims. Yeah, right... ;-) VeriSign also angered the close-knit group of engineers and scientists who are familiar with the technology underpinning the Internet. They say that Site Finder undermines the worldwide Domain Name System, causing e-mail systems, spam-blocking technology and other applications to malfunction. VeriSign said the claims are overblown. "There is no data to indicate the core operation of the domain name system or the stability of the Internet has been adversely affected," VeriSign's Galvin said. watta bunch of goobers! scott On Fri, 3 Oct 2003, Tim Wilde wrote: : : http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A40241-2003Oct3.html : : And they act like they're the victims.
