I use to think the execs, etc... at VRSN were drinking too much of the cool-aid. You guys are freakin' chugging the stuff. If you think this is an Internet-governance issue, then say so.

I measured my spam uptake. My personal inbox receives over 100 spam messages a day, and with .com/.net wildcard only caused a 0.5% spike -- something I did not notice because the other spam checks caught them.
