Sure you were.  You guys are presumably intimately familiar with most of
BIND 8's error messages.  You could have simply reused the old wording in
cases where they applied, but instead you decided to come up with new
wording from scratch.

But every time you had to emit an error message, you had the choice of
wording it in English or computerese.  You apparently chose the latter in
many cases, and that's what I'm complaining about.

Since we're not running 9.x, I can't comment on specific cases.  All I know
are the ones I've seen mentioned here in the newsgroup, and they're even
less understandable than their BIND 8 equivalents.
