Verisign spreads its public relations message aggressively among the media, and those countering their errors talk on nanog, or equivalent. In case no one has noticed, Versign has been quite successful in getting the media to cast the issues (eg., "prevention of innovation") in terms that Verisign is promoting. Discussion on nanog might feel good, but it does not affect the public relations campaign that Verisign is conducting. d/ -- Dave Crocker <dcrocker-at-brandenburg-dot-com> Brandenburg InternetWorking <www.brandenburg.com> Sunnyvale, CA USA <tel:+1.408.246.8253>
