	Maybe, maybe not.  Best is the enemy of good enough -- do you 
have a perfect solution that can theoretically be delivered at some 
unknown point in the future?  If so, I think I'd prefer to use the 
tools I have today while waiting for this theoretically perfect 
solution, and I do *NOT* want you or anyone else trying to take those 
tools away from me.

	Do you?


	If you are so violently opposed to reverse DNS, then please turn 
it off for all your systems and all your applications.  Don't come 
back to us until you are done.

	Meanwhile, I shall continue to insist that, regardless of 
whatever you may think is appropriate for you to do on your own 
systems, you do *NOT* stand in the way of other people doing what 
they feel is equally appropriate for their systems.
