In what way do you consider the listing of the response to a DNS query of this "domain name" to be nonsense? That's what is returned in the text (at least with certain server/client combinations, including mine) when you dig or nslookup the name. The return text may seem nonsensical, but the fact that it exists isn't. That section of the entry needed serious cleanup, but neither does that make it nonsense.

- The text removed read For a unknown reason this reply is sent back after a DNS lookup. Claiming that the reason is unknown is a point-of-view comment with no citation, and the grammar is poor. It should only say that if you can point to a suitable source that shows that the reason is generally unknown, not simply because the author has no idea what it means. --kjd 02:31, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Good point, and well made. I'm trying to decide how encyclopedic that
textreturn is before finding a better way to cram it back into the article. Right now, it's a mere piece of trivia, but there's always the potential of useful information being flagged by any piece of trivia. I'm going to cogitate and deliberate for a while, and quite possibly vacillate a touch, too... Paul.w.bennett 11:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
