Following that "logic" to its conclusion, consumers would "benefit" if
we eliminated all desserts except for vanilla ice cream, and at a cost
of $4/serving wholesale.

*Some* of us happen to like chocolate ice cream. A banana split with
raspberry icecream once in a while makes a yummy treat. Ever tried it
with those tasty sprinkles on top? Better hurry, because Verisign might
convince Baskin Robbins to put forth the Vanilla-Only Icecream Desserts
(VOID) regime. Frozen yogurt makers, will have to shut down, and switch
to VOID. Bill Cosby will be out of a job, since jello pudding will be
blacklisted.

And the consumer "benefit"? You'd be able to find $4/serving icecream
*everywhere*. Heaven forbid in the status quo that a consumer couldn't
walk an extra block to find vanilla icecream, if that's their
favourite.

Personally, I prefer to choose my desserts, and let manufacturers
innovate to sell me what will make me most happy. And with competition,
I'll be getting a good price. Some of them will even sell me cookies!

'C' is for cookie, that's good enough for me....

But in Verisign's world, 'C' is for cowardice...

Sincerely,
