Humble Request · 3 May 2002

Time, if you please, for another Google bomb.

My friend and yours, Leslie Harpold, continues to suffer the arrogance and incompetence of Verisign, a company to whom she paid money in exchange for the safekeeping of her domain, Hoopla.com, and who then cheerfully sold it to someone else.

Perhaps Verisign will fix this fiasco some day; nonetheless I see no reason not to share the story. With, say, all the stock analysts, potential investors, journalists and (apparently) lowly domain registrants who type the word Verisign into Google. Your link to:

<a href="/article/494/">Verisign</a>

will help steer the way.

That’s Verisign.

Thank you.
