The same way that the more-vocal djbware fans, and Prof. Bernstein
himself, compared qmail _only_ with sendmail, not with Postfix, Exim4,
or Courier-MTA, and compared djbdns _only_ with BIND9, not with
Unbound/NSD, MaraDNS/Deadwood, or PowerDNS.

Comparing what you like only with the cruftiest and oldest alternative
is among the oldest, lamest, and most common rhetorical tricks around.
Overcoming this chicanery was part of the inspiration for many of my
more-popular Web pages, such as:

http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/dns-servers.html
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Mail/mtas.html

I'm sure you've been disappointed by this sort of thing before, Steve.
