Well this is fun. I suggest that you review Andrew's comments again.
Nothing he said was personal, they were direct criticisms of possible
technical administration failures.

We are not in the business of protecting egos for technical matters
here. If Andrew has said something to the effect of, "WTF Marc, do you
have a clue about what you are doing?" I would agree with your statement.

Andrew did not do any such thing. He merely presented his rather well
informed opinion on the matter of DNS and possible issues with the
current configuration. Frankly, he is correct, open recursive servers
are a bad idea. This isn't 2001, we need to be very careful with our
resources.

I see nothing wrong with that.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
