Sometimes it doesn't pay to be Mr. DNS

[Cricket Liu]

Okay, it never pays, because it's a free service, but sometimes it sucks
more than others.

Here's the message one of my fellow Mr. DNS's had waiting for him
when he checked the mailbox this weekend:

From: Melissa Henderson <MHenderson at jcai.com>
To: "'Acme Byte & Wire's Mr. DNS '" <mr-dns at acmebw.com>

 THAT'S your answer?  YOU really ought to get a copy of "how to make friends
and influence people."  thanks for nothing, you prick.

You really ought to go get a copy of "DNS on Windows NT" and read it.

Come meet Mr. DNS at our next DNS and BIND class!
See www.acmebw.com/training.htm for the schedule
and to register for upcoming classes.

The advice was fair enough, I think:  "DNS on Windows NT" does
demonstrate proper use of DNS Manager, which apparently eludes
her. But I guess she doesn't like reading, or already has the book and
hated it.

Oh, and they're a "Customer Relationship Marketing" firm.  Heaven help
us all.

Someone remind me why we do this again?
