Easy there Jason, I think that the 95th percentile of NANOG readers understood Richard's joke to be some sort of reference to packet flooding as further evidenced by the net smiley with which he ended his email. What with all the sarcasm on this list, a bit of humor is most welcome. -prl. -- "Francis, lighten up." - Stripes

Aside from the obvious immaturity you display in this response, yes, it is water flooding. I just was seeing what else was affected by it.

I am getting word that the Qwest Houston TeraPOP is down, due to flooding.
Is this true, and does anyone know of anything else from

But my average five-minute sample of NANOG readers in fact found that they saw it as a highly inflammatory remark. Which is better?! Tim -:) -- Tim Wilde twilde@dyndns.org Systems Administrator Dynamic DNS Network Services http://www.dyndns.org/
