So...what, if anything, has been heard along the lines of feedback/defense/repartee/retort/explanation/spin doctoring/screams of terror from Verisign under the crushing weight of this solid ochlocratic beatdown? Given the below, was wondering if anyone, conversely, has heard any ardent professions on Verisign's part of commercial or vendor agnosticism or assurances of this being "for our own good?" (Aside from the "Terms of Use" rhetoric on the sitefinder page, that is...) Honesty is the best policy, but insanity tends to be a better defense. (Not sure where commercial motivation falls in that regard...) --ra -- K. Rachael Treu, CISSP rara at navigo dot com ..sic itur ad nauseum.. On Wed, Sep 17, 2003 at 10:05:04PM +0000, E.B. Dreger said something to the effect of:

PH> If I remember correctly, Verisign person stated in an PH> interview that they estimate that it will be worth up to PH> $100M annually.
I'm willing to suffer that sort of burden to, uh, help make the Internet a better place. Where do I sign up?
