Hmm...  Sounds like you are asking us to possibly honor someone's desire
that no-one should see our replies to their statements about us.  If I
was to post a message saying that Bind has an "undocumented feature" in
it such that if it receives a request for www.mickeyDs.com that all the
traffic lights in the country turn green at once and that Paul Vixie
purposely did this, you would honor my Reply-to:
basketweavers-l at bellview.com ?  I think not...  :-)

I have always done this (unless I messed up :-), and find those who
don't as annoying as you do...

I will promise to never start (and have never have started) a thread
about uDNS on nanog .

Take care,
