Yes, most of us here can do that no problem, and do as a rule when trouble

say a site is broken. They have no clue to what a dns is much less how to use
one vs. another.

==================
Each days terror almost a form of boredom
madmen at the wheel and stepping on the gas and the brakes no good
and each day one, sometimes two, morning glories
faultless, blue, blue sometimes flecked with magenta
each lit from within with the first sunlight
