The one that pisses me off more is http://news.com.com/2100-1038_3-5087139.html?tag=nefd_topThe article makes me wonder if CNET is the press, or an outlet for press releases. The Internet community is almost uniform in expressing outrage for numerous REAL reasons, yet CNET says its from the Internet's technical "old guard".... Sorry, so where is the "new guard" calling for Verisign to come back with sitefinder ? Also CNET leaves un challenged the 'excuse of the day' that Verisign without site finder "will not be able to protect the Net's critical infrastructure"...

Mark McLaughlin is a former lawyer who moved into Marketing and Biz Development (Caere, Gemplus, Signio and then Verisign payments).-- Kee Hinckley http://www.messagefire.com/ Next Generation Spam Defense http://commons.somewhere.com/buzz/ Writings on Technology and Society I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
