Peter and all, No I think this is Just Randy being Randy, not a shill at all. Run in's with Randy from many sectors of the Net are well known and fairly common. His prevailing "Management style" is one of being disagreeable for the sake of being disagreeable. This is pretty well documented. BTW very few DNS servers are RFC2182 compliant, but I am sure that you already know this Peter, as I am sure Randy does as well. Even ICANN's DNS server is not RFC2182 compliant. What I really think this whole situation shows (And thanks to William here we have a nice outline of how this problem progressed) is that policies if made too stringent, are detrimental in their application.
