This is Stratton Sclavos.

Sclavos has made a career of buying high and selling low. He bought Network Solutions at the peak of the bubble, and sold it for a fraction of its value. He personally tried to corrupt the DNS with his idiotic SiteFinder "service."

Why he is still occupying a seat of power instead of a cardboard box on the street is beyond me. On merit that's what he deserves. Few people have destroyed more equity in their careers, few have been poorer public stewards of resources. Yet there seems no movement in that direction.

Anyway, you might want to get out of the mobile messaging business because Verisign just bought Lightship, which sends photo files over cellular networks. (Apparently he didn't notice that the carriers still won't send photos to one anothers' networks.)

The seller: Phillippe Kahn. Borland, Starfish -- that Phillippe Kahn.

When Kahn and Sclavos play poker, you can win big money betting Sclavos will be the one walking out in his underwear.

So I repeat. Why hasn't this moron been fired yet? What does it take for the Verisign board (or Verisign shareholders) to demand action?
