VeriSign does not have the % right to make assertions about all unregistered domains in NET or COM. % Can you back up your assertion that Verisign is -NOT- entitled? A number of us think that they do, in fact, have the right to assert information about COM and NET, registered or not. I have reason to beleive this, since they assert their rights to do so at least twice a day. % Keith --bill Opinions expressed may not even be mine by the time you read them, and certainly don't reflect those of any other entity (legal or otherwise).
