I'm not getting any replies back either.  I'm guessing people are of the
"'Well it's about damn time" mentality and just going to wait and see
what will happen tomorrow.

On a related note, "School of Rock" comes out today and I'm guessing a
bunch of the US IT staff will be calling in sick to be one of the first
ones to see it.

Doesn't seem that anybody else had replied to this ^^

Kinda weird... Or am I missing traffic?

By the time this arrives, others will probably have posted the same.
Knowing that I might clog up the list with me-too's, I believe it's
important enough to share over and over again. Here it is, straight
from
NANOG...

And they act like they're the victims.  Amazing.

"Without so much as a hearing, ICANN today formally asked us to shut
down
the Site Finder service," said VeriSign spokesman Tom Galvin. "We
will
accede to their request while we explore all of our options."

How about a public outcry?  Did you miss that part?  You don't
deserve a
hearing.

Of course, they haven't removed the wildcard yet:
