Oh ye gods.. Without a certain anglo-irishman (George Boole) and a certain other englishman (Alan Turing) (and doubtless many other people from a whole bunch of places), there would be no computers or electronics for you to have built an internet on, indeed we all owe a great debt to the Arabs (particularly those in Mesopotamia, ie present day Iraq) for maintaining and significantly advancing the state of the art in mathematics (As well as inventing cryptoanalysis), while western europe descended into the backwards middle-ages. Many of the BGP RFCs were authored and co-authored by an Indian (as is much software). etc.. etc.. etc.. We all stand on the shoulders' of giants, no country or people have a monopoly on innovation, advances in this modern world are impossible without drawing on thousands of years of collective human knowledge and progress. Now can we go back to netops related stuff please? regards, -- Paul Jakma paul@clubi.ie paul@jakma.org Key ID: 64A2FF6A warning: do not ever send email to spam@dishone.st Fortune: If a listener nods his head when you're explaining your program, wake him up.
