Re: [ga] [ncdnhc-discuss] Re: WLS proposal

[Don Brown <donbrown_l@inetconcepts.net>]

VeriSign is on the Wall Street treadmill. They can increase revenue
and hide margin slip through acquisitions for a limited time only. One
day, the fat lady always sings. I can spell desperate, but I'll bet
their CEO and CFO can spell it backwards.

Gomez wants to keep his job and making WLS a reality will make him a
hero at VeriSign.

He seems to be a nice guy, but the WLS dog just won't hunt. He needs
to find a different avenue to the medal of honor at VeriSign. I gotta
say, though, that he is persistent and the guy has worked really hard
at it, even in face of those of us with an IQ above that of a rock.

Thanks,
