I've always enjoyed your posts Michael. You are obviously an expert, with no patience for idiocy, and you always go for the throat and try to hurt the other person as much as you can. Your messages are always very entertaining.
You really think Michael is malicious in his intent? You've spent a whole lot of time paying now attention around here, haven't you?
As far as companies that design their own networks so they have trouble interoperating with themselves--well, bummer for them. I bet they wish they had done their design more efficiently instead of making "large sprawling" networks with plenty of room for growth for soda machines. Because you just can't assign enough IP address space for your soda machines.
"Cute sound bites does (sic) not make you an expert in anything. " I agree with this too. But just because it's cute, doesn't mean it's wrong.
No, cute soundbites don't make you an expert. But in this case, Dillon's right, and you're wrong: your attempt to trivialize the specific issue on point (allocation within the 1918 space internal to a company network) by implying that the only reasons to do it the way he suggests amount to "leaving space for soda machines" only proves in public that you don't know what you're talking about. As randy would put it, I encourage my competitors to hire you to architect their WANs. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
