ICANN Leaves Announcements List Open
BlueCalx- writes: "ICANN seems to be at it again. Last night, they sent a message to all their potential members at large, and they accidentally left the list open for all its members to post. Between midnight and 10 AM EST, ICANN's members-to-be received a wealth of unsolicited email from fellow members. You can view the text of the emails here." A special tip of the maildump to the Kevin McMaster, the first twonk to actually spam the list with an ad for his site, Alberta Register.
Of course, Jesus (i.e. God) does disapprove of homesexual behaviour, but there is a big difference between that and "hating fags".

So we don't like the first guy for spamming his list onto all the members, and his punishment is to have his site linked to Slashdot?! Hmmm.
This is what you get from putting Esther Dyson (aka Lucifer herself) in charge of the Internet. Yeah, I'm really happy to trust these people with the entire domain naming system. Blergh. Seriously, they've been around for years and they've yet to get a single thing right. They have not shown one ounce of willingness to adopt an administrative policy which could be described as anything less than fascist. It's just the cherry on the top that they aren't even able to manage a mailing list -- it's no surprise that the naming system in its current state. I say kill the ICANN; let's get rid of this awful monstrosity once and for all.
(Sorry for the rant, but it really pisses me off to see my beloved network get to this point. Moderators take note: this post was not a troll, flamebait or offtopic.)
To the editors: your English is as bad as your Perl. Please go back to grade school.

When the MicroBerto reporting service asked why they made such a poorly-engineered list, the At Large Membership Program simply claimed "Because ICANN!"

After seeing the posting on /. a few weeks back, I signed up. Nothing happened. I figured, oh well, it's ICANN, they're just blowing me off.
Well, I wish that was the case. After a few days of not collecting my email, I now have hundreds of messages from moron twinks who felt compelled to tell all other 12,000 members "Geez, I'm so glad ICANN is doing this" and "When will my PIN come?" Then of course is the best "Me too, when will my PIN come"
Can this organization do ANYTHING right? By the looks of it, days went by without anything happening. I posted a message to the list from an account I wasn't even subscribed with. Is there more of a sin in running a mailing list than to allow the public at large to post?
I have zero hope for this organization if they haven't the common sense to properly configure a mailing list. I don't even remember asking to be on the list, nor have they ever sent instructions on how to get off the list. Despicable.
No sig is worth reading.
This is obviously a well orchestrated conspiracy organised by the National Security Agency and the CIA to divert public attention from the Elian Gonzalez case.
