I've often been accused of indulging a sagebrush-dry, deadpan sense of
humour, so I'm guessing there's a good chance that you're doing the same
thing, here.  Nicht wahr?

I apologise for having doubts on that matter, but on the Internet
parody and the real thing are sometimes difficult to distinguish.
That having been said, if those are real, not just-kidding questions,
I'm not sure I can manage being clearer, and my prior post took the sort
of commitment of time and effort that I regretfully can't keep going.

FWIW, to the best of my ability, I'm using those and other words only in
ways conventional in DNS technical discussion, e.g., among system
administrators, network engineers, and the broader Linux online
technical community.
