VeriSign: "Hang 'Em High"

Greetings. The fallout from VeriSign's "hijacking" of the DNS (Domain Name System) for the .COM and .NET top level domains continues. I've released some preliminary information concerning responses to the PFIR Public Call For Data regarding the effects of VeriSign's actions.

In general, the tenor of many responses was just this side of a lynch mob, suggesting that anger and concern over VeriSign's new "profit center" remains extraordinarily high to say the least.
