An incentive to take the survey: If you fill it out, it'll tell you the aggregated results so far, which are, lemme tell you, pretty surprising. Who knew that NANOG subscribers would anonymously admit they were clueless? :-) -Bill

OK, this is nit-picky, but the errors a wildcard will pick up are NOT 404 errors. A wild card could not possibly ever pick up a 404 error. Since 404 is a server error code, you have to already be talking to the server to get a 404. I've seen this in the press repeatedly and it drives me almost as nuts as having to call DSL access hardware a modem. Thank you. I feel better now. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- chris@westnet.com -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/

Your DSL access hardware would not be a too good DSL access hardware without a modem so I suggest you consider putting some money aside for counceling. Pete

Welp, it has been over a week and the results seem to have pretty much stopped coming in. It doesn't look like very many people think the wildcards were a good idea, although it scored the highest among "web-browsing end-users". Thanks for the survey Paul! -wayne
Not to put too fine a point on it or undermine Paul's desire for people to take the survey in order to see results, but, this isn't a small delta in perception, either.... The overwhelming majority (more than almost 200 times as many) people thought it was a BAD IDEA than a good one. Decline-to-state and Web- Browsing-End-User tied, and one more "Good idea" response was had from a Domain-Name-Registrant for a total of 5 "Good idea" responses. Zowie.... I think that's the most overwhelming amount of consensus I've _EVER_ seen in an internet poll/survey/vote/whatever. Hey, Verisign lawyers, are you listening?

Your results look a hell of alot more realistic then what Verisign tried to get people to swallow at SECSAC. Too bad they won't take it seriously because its 'obviously biased' :-/ -------------------------- Brian Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group Open Solutions For A Closed World / Anti-Spam Resources http://www.sosdg.org ICQ: 8077511 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Vixie" <vixie@vix.com> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 10:07 PM Subject: opinions on the com/net wildcard issue
