Re: Re: Why I Dislike Astroturfing
by Bret Fausett
This is not any different than what INTA did with whois or Verisign did with the .COM agreement. How were those comments helpful? Let's say that this campaign is a success and ICANN channels a few hundred "me too" emails to the NTIA. What does that say? How is it helpful to the NTIA that a few hundred people, out of the millions of Internet users, sent in a boilerplate email devoid of facts, analysis, or any independent thinking? Bret
