None of those observations were substitutes for answering Kevin's
arguments. Therefore, none of them were ad hominem.
(In the first case, I had already quoted the BIND 9 manual on chroot. In
the second case, I pointed out that Kevin's apex approach wasn't even
close to a solution to the stated problem. In the third case, I cited a
URL making clear that Kevin's TCP comments were nonsense.)

All you're proving is your own illiteracy.

What are you talking about? I'm simply identifying you as a BIND company
employee.
You have consistently responded with comments such as ``grow up.'' Those
comments suggest that you find this identification insulting. Frankly, I
don't care whether you find it insulting. It's the truth, and saying it
is not ``name-calling.''

The corporate shells keep changing. I don't keep track of the current
list of names, nor do I expect my readers to do so.
