Now since that article also said NSA^H^H^H NSI is spamming everyone with
some kind of ad for a "Verisign digital identification system" (Gee, what
else would the NSA^H^H^H NSI spam out of Reston anyway?), I suppose
you're going to have "nothing to do with them" also ... right?

That's the thing about the modern U.S.; people look suspiciously at every
company except, of course, the ones that are monopolies and they CAN'T
boycott.  Naturally, they do business with those without question... and
eventually everything becomes a monopoly.

It DOES look like my original suspicions about the Verio "central
facility" might be wrong, at least.  But I just wonder how they're going
to handle DNS without access to NSI.  Any information?
