[I'm sure that Paul Vixie knows the difference but others may not and the Washington Post paper, mentioned at the beginning of the thread, was quite confused.] On Tue, Feb 10, 2004 at 04:37:09AM +0000, Paul Vixie <vixie () vix com> wrote a message of 22 lines which said:
why? that is, why kill sitefinder?
Nobody suggested to kill SiteFinder. Despite Verisign's lies, SiteFinder is alive and well (well, Verisign suppressed the A record for sitefinder.versigin.com but it is their decision, they could recreate the A record at anytime) and never stopped. Anyone is free to create a Sitefinder-like service if they want. Many people opposed WILDCARDS in ".com", not SiteFinder. The bad action was not to launch SiteFinder, it was to add wildcards.
there's been plenty of invective on both sides, and a lot of unprofessional behaviour toward verisign employees at a recent nanog meeting,
Wake up: the Internet is no longer a commune of happy geeks working together for a common goal. It is now a social infrastructure and there are fights for its control. There is no longer any reason to be nice with everybody, specially with people trying to divert the common resource for their own profit.
