Dear Fellow IDN Investors,
It is ridiculous that IDN.com still does not display properly in the address bar of Mozilla Firefox. For example, when I type in Haïti.com, M.F. instantly changes that to http://xn--hati-6pa.com/ , totally ruining the image of a country homonym that the site should have.
I submit that this will never change until we work together. I have written to the IDN department at M.F., complaining that it is ridiculous that they simply sacrifice IDN.com for the excuse of security. It's like grounding all planes simply because a terrorist might get aboard. Until they get a flood of our mail, they will not change their crap system. That means I need YOU -- all of you -- to send them an email. Then, please reply to this message letting me know you are part of this effort.

Also, I have written to Verisign. I told them that I have written to my congressmen with this message -- "Given your very profitable monopoly, with inflated prices (compare to the recent price reductions with .org and .info), it is especially outrageous that you cannot work with Mozilla Firefox to get IDN.com in proper order in the year 2008." Again, until Verisign gets a flood of emails and calls, they will not work with M.F. on this issue.

As long as we don't work together, our collective interests will never be heard. Please work with me on this. Let me know you're with me.
