Some of you may find http://grc.com/dos/grcdos.htm very interesting.
The rest of NANOG may, as we do, wonder why Mr. Gibson, after almost naming us in that page (he didn't name _us_ directly, but left enough not-so-subtle hints that both us and our users noticed us being mentioned), chose to brush off our offers to help, claiming instead that he just wanted to move on and forget about the whole thing. (I ought to mention that it took at least a week to get a reply from Mr. Gibson) We ended up concluding that Mr. Gibson's main goal is the distribution of large quantities of FUD. It seems, I might add, that Mr. Gibson is particularly successful at this remarkably valuable art. Vivien -- Can you elaborate further? Tim
