Yeah, that's exactly what they're doing! It's a plot to TAKE OVER
THE WORLD. You figured it out!
It's about giving the spammers what they want: More traffic to their
websites. How can it be wrong when they send out 1 million emails
that all say "click on this link" and 1 million computers actually
click the link? Who's in the wrong there?
Besides: "rule the Internet by emminent domain." Isn't' that Verisign's job?
