The degree of defensiveness here is quite stunning. Four and a half
*years*? He's still smarting over a *four and a half year old* flame?

If I did that I'd never dare to post at all.

Quite.

Oh, and btw, Adrian, hiding info because it might embarrass your
customer is a waste of time. Not only is the info publically available,
but your customer *cannot* manage worse screwups than some of those I've
seen (and some of those others have seen, too).

DNS is remarkably easy to get right --- and remarkably easy to get
*wrong*.
