Actually, there was a huge stink about the Verisign ad. However, it was at about the time there was a HUGE stink here, about off-topic postings. Guess what got lost? As for as the rest of NSI screw-ups, go to one of the InterNIC lists. A number of us keep telling NSI that the vampire-shift janitorial staff are NOT system admins. They don't listen. The point is that I would charge most of the last years FUBARs off to incompetance, rather than Machiavellian mechanations. To do otherwise gives way more credit than is deserved. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of > John Fraizer > Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 1999 1:35 PM > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: RE: Contact handles disappearing mysteriously from the whois > database! > > > > At 01:45 PM 4/27/99 -0600, [email protected] wrote: > > > >I'm sure you have no idea what Mark went through to be allowed to > >post on NANOG.
