Is this for real?

Someone asks a harmless question about setting up multiple default routes, not about Barack Obama or whether the moon is made of green cheese, but about default routes.

nanog.

Then 25 people decide to dispute that.

Then 50 people are arguing (ok maybe I exaggerate but just a little) about it.

So the person who asked the original question feels bad and

apologizes.

And 5 people decide to tell her there's nothing to apologize for.

And 10 people dispute that...and...what next? Oh, right, and next I feel an urge to write this idiotic meta-meta-meta-note.
