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.

If we do not help the newbies how will they ever become clued. I can certainly remember when I did not know a bit from a byte.

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.
