Take the personal attacks elsewhere if you don't mind.
My post was not intended to be a personal attack. I did explain that it was sent in more haste than I'd have liked, and perhaps it might have been better if I'd have left it until I got back - but I don't know how much better, as I'm told I'm not always very good at email and judging by some of the responses I get that's probably correct. In any case please do be assured that there's nothing personal going on here, I'm simply trying to remind anyone who might think that it doesn't hurt to be reminded (and I believe there are some) that the ISC should have stability right up near the very top of its list of objectives. Amongst the characteristics of stability one may count the lack of any requirement to make changes to configuration files, especially at a potentially stressful time such as for example when installing any new version of BIND. I'd much prefer it didn't happen at all, but if it's required then in my view the new release should be entirely about the configuration file change(s) and nothing else, so there's more flexibility in scheduling the change because there won't be all those pesky new features to consider.

Well the apology was right there in that sentence, but here and now and in public I apologize again. I could take issue with a few other things in your reply, but this is my apology, not some attempt at a refutation or a justification, so here it ends. More or less this entire message is an apology, as you requested, and to anyone reading who has better things to do, I apologize for that also. Please let's get back to BIND now. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
