this is not an icann thing btw, it's just me.
An incentive to take the survey: If you fill it out, it'll tell you the
aggregated results so far, which are, lemme tell you, pretty surprising.
Who knew that NANOG subscribers would anonymously admit they were
clueless?

OK, this is nit-picky, but the errors a wildcard will pick up are NOT 404
errors. A wild card could not possibly ever pick up a 404 error. Since 404
is a server error code, you have to already be talking to the server to get
a 404.
I've seen this in the press repeatedly and it drives me almost as nuts as
having to call DSL access hardware a modem.
Thank you. I feel better now.

Your DSL access hardware would not be a too good DSL access hardware
without a modem so I suggest you consider putting some money aside for counceling.

What's wrong with calling it a modem? It MOdulates and DEModulates between a digital bitstream and an analog signal.

Speaking of clueless--how com my "free account" costs me so much
money?

Welp, it has been over a week and the results seem to have pretty much
stopped coming in. It doesn't look like very many people think the
wildcards were a good idea, although it scored the highest among
"web-browsing end-users".
Thanks for the survey Paul!

Not to put too fine a point on it or undermine Paul's desire for people to take
the survey in order to see results, but, this isn't a small delta in perception,
either.... The overwhelming majority (more than almost 200 times as many)
people thought it was a BAD IDEA than a good one. Decline-to-state and Web-
Browsing-End-User tied, and one more "Good idea" response was had from a
Domain-Name-Registrant for a total of 5 "Good idea" responses.
Zowie.... I think that's the most overwhelming amount of consensus I've _EVER_
seen in an internet poll/survey/vote/whatever.
Hey, Verisign lawyers, are you listening?
Owen
Your results look a hell of alot more realistic then what Verisign tried to
get people to swallow at SECSAC.
Too bad they won't take it seriously because its 'obviously biased' :-/
