On the CNET article that ZDNET seems to have copied lock stock and barrel, he did actually identify himself as a Verisign VP in the by line. As such, I think this is ZD's fault, not McLaughlin's. I don't have any love lost for Verisign, but, I think we need to be very careful to stick to criticisms that can stick to them. Otherwise, they will divert attention to our false claims and use them to prove that we are the net.kooks they are trying to make us out to be.

ZDNet has fixed the attribution on their article. They now mention before and after the article that McLaughlin is a Verisign VP. John --
