If, as Duane implies, they truly wish to get to the bottom of this, wouldn't
the appropriate solution be to stop sending out invoices to clients that are
no longer theirs? I don't know about all of you, but the business logic is
remarkably simple. If the customer is still my customer, send them a bill.
If not, do nothing.
I'm not questioning their intent or motivation, but it still surprises me
that a world-class company like Verisign can have such significant problems
with such a fundamental part of their business operations like billing.
