I recieved one of the mailings. Fortunately it's been reported, and Verisign is supposed to have stopped sending these out via US Mail. Email I'm not sure of.

And even if it was a snail-mailing, it's no different than the deluge of paper junk mail I get from Register.Com all the time. (And no, none of my two-dozen-odd domains are registered with Register.Com.) It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, folks...and every business that staked its future on the 'net is wearing Milk Bone underwear. Small wonder the advertising tactics are becoming significantly more aggressive. - -Jay ( ( _______ )) )) .--"There's always time for a good cup of coffee"--. >====<--. C|~~|C|~~| (>------ Jay D.
