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.
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.
