The fact that someone else once broke the speed limits by 5 km/h on a deserted highway and no one complained does not entitle you to do the same, or worse, to drive at 200 km/h in front of a school. Actually, I am very much against the .PH registry's use of wildcards - their application was done arbitrarily - no consultation whatsoever from the local community - and in a blatantly commercial fashion. What I'm hoping for is if Verisign is censured and forced to bow down to public pressure from ALAC and other groups, this would allow those of us in the Philippines to pressure the private for-profit DotPH Inc. to do the same. Or better yet, use the wildcard issue within the context of our campaign to redelegate .PH to a non-profit registry accountable to the local community. - jim
