Since people need to *explicitly* choose using the OpenDNS servers, I can hardly see how anybody's wishes are foisted on these people.
If you don't like the answers you get from this (free) service, you can of course choose to use a different service - for instance your ISP's name servers.
What if your ISP's name servers are those from OpenDNS?
1) You can personally opt-out of OpenDNS' NXDOMAIN stuff & such. 2) I don't really see how that makes a difference. The point is, OpenDNS is not forcing anyone. Your ISP has a policy you don't like, use a different ISP. If there is no other ISP, well, I don't know what to tell you? Start one? Move? End of day, it is an OPT-IN service. If you happen to "opt-in" by buying service from your ISP, that does not change the basic premise. -- TTFN, patrick
