excerpt from Verisign's letter to Icann:

All indications are that users, important members of the internet
community we all serve, are benefiting from the improved web
navigation offered by Site Finder. These results are consistent with
the findings from the extensive research we performed.

.....

As to your call for us to suspend the service, I would respectfully
suggest that it would be premature to decide on any course of action
until we first have had an opportunity to collect and review the
available data. After completing an assessment of any operational
impact of our wildcard implementation, we will take any appropriate
steps necessary.

Best Regards,

Russell Lewis
Executive Vice President, General Manager
VeriSign Naming and Directory Services

Swerve responds:

With all due respect, my call is for Russell Lewis and Verisign to
cut the bullshit and stop their reckless and detrimental altering
of the namespace with their intrusive pop in ADVERTISMENT service
based on misspelled domain names.

Directors of Icann:

Find another company or org, other than Verisign, to run .com and .net.
  Or resign your positions if you will continue to allow Verisign to
operate .com/.net as if they own it.

Money grab Money grab Money grab.
