The EE Times writer stumbled across the May/June BoardWatch article that somehow warped the May NANOG discussions on routing stability into a story on "Cisco's dirty little secret." The EE Times author apparently thought this would make a great basis for a vendor-bashing story, so he gave both Merit and Cisco a call.
Both Cisco and the RA tried to carefully (and at great length) explain to the EE Times writer the same things discussed at NANOG.
He called others, namely me. Having had many bad experiences with the yellow press on a mission, I did not go on at great length. When called by a panther, don't anther. - Ogden Nash randy
