i don't know why any of you is bothering to refute bernstein's assertions,
or even respond to him, or even read his tripe.  however, do consider the
likelihood of him defending my prior comments had he DISAGREED with them,
and also consider that whilest i did in fact misunderstand/misread RFC2308,
several other members of what bernstein laughably calls "the bind company",
notably the author of rfc2308 and a coauthor of the current wildcard draft,
have views remarkably different than the one bernstein quotes me as having.

can we have some serious discourse now?
