Correct.

You will notice I didn't start the name calling.  I was called names first.
 Attempted to defend the issue, rather than myself and was lowered to the
standard of the opponent to have to actually become personal.

Perhaps Rational debate could be restarted.

Perhaps if ANYONE is going to make ANY comments about AURSC, they should
FIRST use it.

I always choose my words carefully.

That's why I'm still around and so many people depart.

You'll notice I'm one of the biggest advocates of Enhanced DNS, whilst I'm
the one most frequently PERSONALLY attacked over it.

You will note the Volume of people attacking me personally is far greater
than the volume of response I offer.

You will note I still say the same things over and over and over, whilst
the attacker doesn't havea  clue what they are talking about and purports
to be brilliant.

From such humble beginings came the Butterfly ....
