That's not an insult! I'm insulted that you would believe I'd issue an 
insult of that lame-itudeness.

What, the same CERT and bugtraq advisories I get? Nothing too scary 
there as far as I can see.

I've had no trouble with BIND 9. We (Red Hat) have had no trouble with

Ooh, who's getting personal now?

Methinks I touched a raw nerve. Perhaps there's a reason you're chafing

Um - no. I'm talking right now to the ex-technical manager for APNIC. 
I'm inclined to trust his judgement.

I think you mean "flame you to a cinder for having a point of view 
disimlar to The Great Dan".
