At the very least, could we fight about something worthwhile? I¹m all for a good fight, and I¹m the first one to trigger the nuclear explosion.. But the subject matter of this peepee competition is tiring. I query the nanog gods frequently, sometimes you get useful feedback and sometimes you get a bunch of haters trying to piss on your parade. There is probably some validity on both sides, but a Friday night email fight should be reserved for those email blacklist douchebags.. Arguing over DIY routers being shittier than radical COTS equipment can be done off list. It¹s supposed to be Christmas.. Have a coke and a smile and STFU if you aren¹t going to add some value.
I can¹t wait for this thread to fan back up on Monday morning when the normal(er) people read this. The first rule of fight club is.. You don¹t talk about fight club.
