more on Is VeriSign's New Security Seal Too Trusting?

Greetings Dave.

I work with VeriSign and, in response to the post below, wanted to pass 
along the company's official position on their trust mark seal...

When businesses implement the new VeriSign trust mark on their Web sites, 
they provide consumers with a greater degree of certainty that they're 
dealing with a real business. Improving the reliability of trust marks and 
online safety is the goal of VeriSign's trust mark program. VeriSign 
advises, however, that all cases of online misrepresentation are best 
addressed through a combination of technology and compliance processes. 
VeriSign has its own compliance program in place to help detect erroneous 
online data and take appropriate action against it.
