[wildcard-comments] Verisign DNS abuse

[Thomas Waldron<thomaswaldron@xxxxxxxxx>]

The successful functioning of the Internet depends much on compliance with 
rules and standards in certain key areas. Verisign is in a position of power, 
possessing the ability to affect large amounts of Internet requests. A position 
of responsibility, entrusted with maintaining standards. Their current practice 
is in every sense, motivated by their own greed, valuing the accumlation of 
money over maintaining the integrity of a system designed to be open. They are 
certainly entitled to hold such a belief, however they do not have the right to 
affect a system that does not belong to them pursuing this end. They have 
abused their post and neglected their responsibilities. This is a fact that 
cannot be denied. Exercise your authority and see that justice is done in this 
matter. Let us ensure that the Internet remains a computing system where 
machines can receive error messages to provide information on requests. Let us 
strive for efficiency and commonsense in maintaing this syst!
 em. Thank you.
