Heyya.

Is anyone able to resolve names in .mil? It seems to have fallen off
the Internets from everywhere I can see...

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
