And more to the point - if somebody manages to go through all the hoops needed to ask a basic question on the NANOG list, it demonstrates a desire to accumulate clue - so we should encourage those people. I'll make the prediction that in 5 years, the person who *started* this thread will be substantially more clued than the lead network engineer at many AS's (you all know the ones I mean - that AS that's 1 or 2 hops away from you that on a weekly basis do something that makes you want to go and inject clue with a baseball bat..)
