This has deviated so far from a useful technical discussion, it isn't even amusing anymore.

Our pre-posting guide for messages to the NANOG e-mail list:
Does my email have operational/technical content?
ANSWER: NO.
Would I be interested in reading this email?
ANSWER: YES, obviously (unless it wasn't me posting it.) I am also the guy at work who everyone avoids because I am the annoying talker who never shuts up. I often get confused when people just walk off in the middle of a "conversation" (ie: when I won't shut the hell up and/or let anyone else talk.)
Would 10,000 other Internet engineers want to read this?
NO.
STOP.

ps. Those who chime in with a witty comment or yet another opinion just when the thread seems to be slowing down are just as guilty as the ones who keep it doing by writing paragraph after paragraph "refuting" what the others have said. (When neither side has an inkling of wanting to acquiesce to the other side.)

Can we be done now?
