[plug] [OT] signs that you're having a bad day: and why

[Ben Jensz]

The biggest issue is email in my opinion.  Both in terms of the 
potential for email rather than being delayed to be tried later if there 
are DNS issues but being bounced by Verisign as if its an authoritative 
server, so the email never gets there.

The other issue is of course the spammers having a bloody field day...

Personally I don't see why one company should ever be in a position to 
have such control over such an essential function of the internet.
