[AusNOG] A Bet Lost. - Sorry for the noise - DNS commandments.

[Matt Perkins]

I'm very sorry for the noise. But due to the loss of a bet, I must 
disclose the following.

Apologises in advance to Geoff.

Anthony is no longer with us and Barry is no longer in our industry.  
That leaves me to reveal that we were the authors of the DNS commandments.

I'm sure Terry  can confirm this statement.


Again Sorry.

And behold, there were great thunder and lightnings, and the mighty
prophet
Gehofrey came down from the temple of Munnari and told Children of AU
that
the Lord God Kre had vouchedsafe unto them these Holy Commandments,
graven
upon stone tablets:-

    thou shalt NOT be added to the root AU domain but shalt be forever
    cast out of the named boot into the outer darkness where there is
great
    weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.
  
4. Thine entries must be DNS walkable, or naught shall be delegated.
  
5. Thou shalt wait in vain for a reply. Ever.
  
6. If the Lord deigneth to reply at all, it is because thou art
incredibly
    stupid, dullwitted, blind and slow of understanding, and
comprehendeth
    not such simple DNS concepts; therefore shall He quote thee large
    inscriptions of the Holy DNS Bible, so that thy mailbox runneth over.
  
7. If not large inscriptions of the Holy DNS Bible, then large
inscriptions
    of the sacred RFC tomes.

8. Thou shalt not complain about the Lord's ineffable doings or
Commandments
    in news; "My Ways are not your ways, neither are My Thoughts your
    thoughts" saith the Lord Kre, and He shall pour out the vials of His
scorn
    upon thine head from on High in the sight of a
