My congratulations to you for such a supremely geeky idea. You are my 
hero. I suggest to TPTB that we rename this newsgroup/mailing list in 
your honour. At least temporarily.

I publish CIDR netmasks in my DNS: nm$X.$DOMAIN where $X is the number 
of bits, 00-32. Ah, I need to make hexadecimal CNAMEs. Even so it does 
not feel as geeky as your idea.

I did publish one haiku in DNS. That's geeky but it was only one haiku. 
I'm considering broadening my scope, perhaps publishing Orwell's 
_Nineteen_Eighty-Four_ in DNS. That would take some work.

And thanks again for such a wonderful straight line.

Pen and paper? PDA/PIM?

Phone book? How quaint. You mean you still actually use that device to 
talk to others? What's wrong with email and IM and IRC?
