However one can not ignore paul vixie when he comes out and calls one a dns pirate. That borders on slander and liable - after all mr. vixie is worshipped far and wide. his pebbles of wisdom are scattered on the masses infrequently. paul and i also enjoy a very long history. unfortunately as far as the history is concerned for much of that time paul has been a very unappy camper. now i appreciate this group. very little sillyness goes on here. i personally am no longer responding to the thread - unless of course some other net god cares to make libelous statements. i am no dns pirate - i consider myself and am a dns pioneer. cheers joe baptista
