"Working the ICANN process is like being nibbled to death by ducks," said Tom Galvin, VeriSign's vice president for government relations. "It takes forever, it doesn't make sense, and in the end we're still dead in the water."
Yeah. Nibbled to death by ducks. That sounds good.

I hope that Verisign gets involved. The anti Microsoft and SCO comments need to be spaced out a bit more then they have been as of late.

Now you're making me think. Just last week, I'd have said Darl McBride, but now you've totally thrown me off-course!
Before that Steve Ballmer/Bill Gates were probably number one, but now...
The more important question is "Who will be next"
Steve Jobs suing companies for using translucent blue plastic?
Maybe Intel will sue Via for making Pentium-compatible chipsets.
Who knows, maybe Slashdot will sue EZboard for creating unlicensed web-forums!
