actually, it's morons who can't interpret (or wilfully misinterpret) plain english who have turned this thread into a trolling exercise. > You're mad because Dan won't waste^Wspend his free time implementing > native support for bind zone files into djbdns; yet, you won't spend a > little bit of *your* free time to even learn the djbdns file format. > So, who's being the bully here?

Hmm? you're about the third person who's made this stupid accusation. what the fuck is it with everyone? are you all too fucking stupid to understand plain english? or do you just habitually stuff words in other people's mouths because it's easier to argue against your own words than someone else's? why is it that my statement that (paraphrased) "one of the reasons why i won't use djbdns is that it isn't backwards compatible with bind" is translated as a demand that djb drops everything and implements that capability just because i want it? i've never once demanded that he implement that. i've never even asked him to do it. i frankly don't care whether he does or not (although i'm much more likely to give djbdns another go if he does), and i've seen enough of djb over the years to know that there is absolutely no point in ever asking him to implement anything that he hasn't thought of first or that might require him to concede that there is some small value in backwards-compatibility. all i've done is state why i won't use djbdns, list some of it's flaws as i see them, and observe that djbdns might be more successful if it was backwards-compatible with bind. if you want to interpret that as some kind of a demand then that's your problem. i'm not responsible for your comprehension difficulties. btw, i have learnt the tinydns-data format. i know how it works, i can read it and i can write it. i simply don't like it. i consider it to be ugly and error-prone, so i don't use djbdns. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fabricati Diem, PVNC. -- motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch
