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.
