Re: [ga] Input from Public Relations Firms

This is truly interesting. At the very least any professional public relations group would hire outside individuals to claim authorship of the list posts. It is axiomatic to public relations not to be seen. I am embarrassed for this knuckleheads and I hope Verisign sues them for this ridiculous amateurism.
  (but I do not see how this fits into Richards' anti-Americanism. Richard you are losing credibility by trying to squeeze every issue into your anti USA template)
  I think the most important factor here is the reminder that we should not judge a position merely by the amount entries but rather by the viability and logic of the argument.

messages were so US-centric and transparently "rigged" that it makes the
rest of us in the world think: "Oh thank you, corporate America, for
agreeing to charge us more and more for our domains each year" and "Thank
you honest good guys for sending all these messages, yes, we love Verisign

in fact we want to FUCK Verisign..."

Yrs, from outside the US (that foreign place called Planet Earth),
