New revised MaraDNS roadmap

[wayne at tiscali]

nice try, whoever you are. would you please untie the real sam trenholme 
and let him go. the police tactical unit has been called and you are 
surrounded. when you see the red dot on your chest take heed and 
cooperate, put your hands over your head and kneel quietly on the floor 
until the police arrive. try not to be too nea the stun grenade when it 
goes off.

Best Regards,
Wayne Kroncke
