The public are just critics:
"Critics say that VeriSign abused its monopoly power over the
registries"
And we're a "close-knit group" who're spouting overblown claims. Yeah,
right... ;-)
VeriSign also angered the close-knit group of engineers and scientists
who are familiar with the technology underpinning the Internet. They
say that Site Finder undermines the worldwide Domain Name System,
causing e-mail systems, spam-blocking technology and other applications
to malfunction.
VeriSign said the claims are overblown.
"There is no data to indicate the core operation of the domain name
system or the stability of the Internet has been adversely affected,"
VeriSign's Galvin said.
watta bunch of goobers!
