Jeff--

Maybe some advance notice on serial changes before they occur?  You
seem to forget we volunteer our time for this.  It's not like anyone
is getting paid.  Unfortunately, I simply haven't had time to sit down
and figure out how to install an updated T1 script.  And no, serial
changes aren't just a fact of life.  We've long had the unspoken rule
that serials never regress backwards for just this reason.  I can't
imagine why it was so pressing that this particular serial had to
start at that particular place.

A lot has been broken for quite a while.  I think interest wanes once
folks realize we're just being used as an alternative nameserver
provider rather than actually delivering any content via alt TLDs.
You want my suggestion?  Implement a whitelist based upon access to
OpenNIC TLDs: Don't access OpenNIC TLDs?  Go get your DNS somewhere
else.  After all, when I started with all this (same time as you) over
a decade ago I was intrigued by the idea of a true alternative
namespace.  This vision seems to have been corrupted over the years.

As for ns7:  Like I keep telling you, I'll fix it when I have the time
to fix it.  And I'm not telling you this with an attitude, just simply
how it is.
