Well I apologize if you consider a 'dns lookup' to be a buzz word. I also
apologize if you are incapable of understanding intent without it being
spelled out for you that I was stating what I would do if I had seen that
and I suggest he do something similar.

What's your problem with me being specific instead of being vague about the
steps? The difference between your idiotic "Hollywood" script and what I
actually said is that I put an ounce of thought into mine. If you have a
problem with that I said then explain what's wrong with it instead of going
about with an ad hominem fallacy.

Speaking of contribution what the hell are you contributing with all of
this? I gave some 'trite advice' as to what he could do and I framed it as
what I would have done. What's so bad about that? If you can do nothing but
bitch about how my advice and my phrasing makes me a horrible person than
you might as well move on. I certainly know that's what I intend to do. Oh
wait, you have a problem with people stating what they would do in a given
situation, I'm sorry. I'll try to be more considerate next time.
