Why do you persist in attributing to people things that they didn't
write. I didn't say that "kent@landfield.com" doesn't belong to Kent.
Which part of "kent@landfield.com" != "kent@landfield.com.invalid"
don't you understand?

Perhaps told by John Stanley. They certainly won't be told that by
anyone else I can think of.
>And when Demon tries to tell me to stop posting with that address
Except for the minor detail that your attribution is another
fabrication; he didn't say that.
>I wasn't aware that USEFOR was tasked with discussing DNS.
Aha! You're finally catching on. Thats why we shouldn't be redesigning
