oh please.  i was an publically critical of *.COM and *.NET, but that's
a policy problem, not an operational problem.  verisign has a very good
record for name server uptime, both at the TLD and root level.  if
you're going to complain about their wildcard policies, please be
specific.

(note that verisign has amended their complaint against icann (since the
court dismissed the first one) and i'm now named as a co-conspirator.
if you reply to this message, there's a good chance of your e-mail
appearing in court filings at some point.)
