	More humourous, perhaps, is the delusion that a mailing list 
	is a masquerade for a standards committee.  

	Dun & Bradstreet do not appear to have a listing for any company
	named "BIND" that has DNS software as a product.  Perhaps 
	the "DJBDNS company" representative is playing fast and loose
	with pejoritive statements to attempt to incite non-productive
	dialog?

	I expect that a more productive tactic would be for the "DJBDNS
	company" representative to write an ID to debate/discuss the 
	relative merits of the existing ID under discussion and propose substantive
	alternatives that are more inclusive and advance the state of art
	of the Domain Name System.  Promotion of better ideas works lots 
	better than castigation of ideas that are distastful, for what 
	ever reason. 

	As for me, I want a strong, robust, evolving system that has "genetic"
	diversity in the code base.
