VeriSign is going to need a similar retention and incentive program for 
its stockholders.

Buy VRSN @ $29.00 on 7/20/05

value declines 15.62% on 7/21/05 to close at $24.47

Considering the stock traded under $4.00 per share as recently as 
October, 2002 the company's going to need to find a very fancy trick to 
convince the shareholders to keep the faith and not dump the stock.

Obviously, buying iDEFENSE makes VeriSign far more valuable. Hoorah!
