Please describe this control you have over Drummonds system?

Its not control.

You are merely publishing your info, and like the phone book, you can
choose to be unpublished or more to the point, not publish your FQDN, thats
the control you have.

The nodelist is a widely distributed text file, not your personal property,
want to nip this in the bud, change your listing.
