That was my thinking... An awful lot of effort. I also think there may have been more to the design.

Looking at it, I am inclined to thing it was real. It seems a lot of effort for a tongue in cheek joke. But then again Australians...

Digging some more, that person does appear to have had that domain and email active about 9-10 years ago. It appears to have gotten hacked at some point and is on the blacklist (blocked) of my local telco. So those may have been a real thing at some point in the past.

I am tempted to post it on HD and ask for opinions. PVC glue and high proof ethanol Yummmmm

Doh I was having a nerdy moment and now I'm going to pay the price :-)

When you have a domain name (website) , it has a unique set of information (records). There is lots of stuff about how to handle certain situations, names, addresses, security, and of course email.

These are all held on the Internet by the DNS servers.... think how a phone book works.
If you want to speak to "George" you look him up in the phone book and beside him a number appears. Some people have two or three numbers listed.

When you want to send an email, the same sort of thing happens and the DNS (And or/other services) is the phonebook and has an entry for that domain name (web address) in the MX record. It returns this information so that your poota can route your email to the recipient.

No MX record = no mail.

I'm sure uncle gargle will give you a long, long list on DNS record types ...... happy reading!

I am not going to say anything I might later want to retract........

BUT the email address does not have an MX record.

OK, I now accept that this person must indeed be a plonker with no understanding of the dangers/problems of mixing high ABV alcohol with any sort of "Plastics" that are not specifically made for use with alcohol.

But Robert, it clearly states,

Both condensers contain a copper tube, which gives the all important copper contact which is purported to produce a smoother spirit. The only other materials are food grade polyproplene, which does not emit any taste or smell, and does not soften with heat and high alcohol content, and rubber stoppers, which have the same properties.

And I'm sure the glue used is fully lead-free!

Not in a million years...

If you were planning the best jokes and scapes then you should go into great detail.
Yes, the alternative is that this person is a plonker.

Stay safe my stilling friends.
