According to your thinking, my many years on the NANOG mailing list were wrong and you tell me I should leave. I don't think I can allow you to do that, Andrew. Paul Vixie, Dillon, Bush, and others have given many examples of appropriate and concise direction giving to newby questioners. Follow their lead, please.

I agree, but I question if NANOG is the appropriate medium for such help. I tend to (maybe mistakenly) assume a working knowledge of basic multihoming concepts is essentially a prerequisite for active participation on the NANOG mailing list.
