I think this list may be a very good choice of where to construct such a response.
Are you being paid by Verisign?
A disclaimer seems appropriate -- right now, I'm being only occasionally paid for consulting by clients not having anything to do with Verisign.
I worked for Network Solutions in the era that Mr. Berkowitz is talking about. My tenure 1984 - 1988 (or so, the memory grows dim). In this era NSI was just beyond a four man startup. It was a beltway bandit, or for the non Washington DC folk, a government contracting company. Its speciality was IBM mainframe data center management. The road from there to scourge of the internet is not worth traveling. Non of the principals, and few of the workers made that journey. _____ Douglas Denault doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601
