more on VeriSign to revive redirect service

Err.. at least in the meeting, the VeriSlime carefully evaded
giving any quantifiable answer as to warning time. I have no idea
what they spun to the press afterwards.

What I observed was they started out cocky...as the meeting went on
and the questioning got pointed, they got snippy and defensive.
Further along, they got a clear tone of desperation in their
speech.

Their counsel actually stood up and blocked them from answering
some questions.

As for the ?35? companies they polled; note the number started far
higher and dribbled down. I suspect that the reason it was so low
was (SURPRISE!) the 35 had to sign NDA's....
