	Not entirely limited to these topics, but certainly advocacy of 
another program is wholly and totally inappropriate.

	If you want to talk about specific features or mis-features, ways 
of using or mis-using BIND, etc... then I would have no problem with 
that.  However, getting into advocacy of another program is not 
appropriate -- regardless of what His Almighty Omniscient Omnipresent 
Omnipotent Dan-ness may seem to think.

	Personally, I've enjoyed reading your counterpoint and dissection 
of his continuous blathering, but I have also found it inappropriate 
for discussion on this list.
