Is there something he's not telling us?

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=980DE4DC1339F93AA35752C1A9659C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2 You should read the articles Paul is in. Perhaps the words SPAM, Russian (dis)organized crime will shed light on this for you. Put one and one together... Guess what, since Paul is in the article along with names of criminals, his name was thrown into the Namebase mix. Nothing strange about it. Alright truth be told. Paul is using telekinetic coding that gets inserted to DNS lookups via Bind in which he then secretly inserts the KFC secret recipe into p2p apps in Siberia. There...

I can't believe I'm actually dignifying this with a response, but as a member of the "peaceful but heavily armed" NANOG contingent I'd be deeply disappointed if Paul were an arms dealer inasmuch as he hasn't offered me any bargains on cool stuff.

More seriously, good work.

You have got to be joking. ---rob

Almost, but DNSSAFE followed by friendlier export laws kept him an honest man... :-) /John
