...

notbeing Paul, its rude of me to respond - yet you posted this to a public list ... so here goes.

Why do you find your behaviour in your domains acceptable and yet the same behaviour in others zones to be "a Bad Thing" and should be stopped?

Ok, devils advocate argument. Is there is a difference between being a domain "owner" (Patrick wanting to wildcard the domain he has paid for), and a domain "custodian" (Verisign for the .com example) in whether wildcards are ever acceptable in the DNS responses you provide?
