AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND. By using the service(s) provided by VeriSign under these Terms of Use, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions here in and documents incorporated by reference. is this enforceable? is typoing a domain name now equivalent to signing a contract? if not, why is this even on there? they've gone to great lengths to not provide any method of contacting them electronically, they only provide an address for VeriSign legal on the privacy policy. i wanted to let them know that i don't agree to their terms of service and i'd like them to stop appearing in my web browser. ;) -- aard@perilith.com
