Perhaps I missed the responses regarding the following the first time
they went out to the list -- and if so, I'm sorry...

I'm sorry... I must have overlooked it. I get upwards of 300 emails a
day -- quite a few from this list. I do apologize that I missed this.
Oh, btw ... did I mentioned that I have been the target of malicious
computer crackers for the last month who are completely hell bent on
destroying every computer I have on the Internet? I'm sure you don't
care. My mail has been down (and I have had to reconfigure and
re-install every computer that I have) and add 4 redundant firewalls to
my *home* network. Maybe I actually received the response and I just
didn't see the it -- worse has happened. I'm sure you don't care and
you are happy to get your insult in.

(1) *I* am not doing this.
(2) *I* have seen all of (1) response/thread that said something along
the lines of "bind allows it, so it must be valid" ... you know, BIND
allows for an MX to be a CNAME .... so it also must be ...
(3) I am simply asking again because I obviously missed it.
If you have any good things to say or any help, I'd appreciate the
feedback. If all you care to do is insult someone (who is just not in
the mood to deal with it), well, we can take it to private messages and
we can go at it.

ps: Thank you for taking the time to respond to me personally, Dan. I
will attempt to find your respond in the archives of this list.
