Dan's pretty busy, and he's already addresses the DSN issue
publicly. He doesn't like to repeat himself.

Dan does things the way he thinks they should be done. He only
implements user requests that he thinks *should* be implemented.

I don't choose MTA's (or any other products) based on the tone of
their web page.

of him to go around. All things considered, I'd rather he devote his
time to the lawsuit and coding qmail 2.0 and other djbware.
