This is starting to look like the most egalitarian thread in sometime. Calm down guys, sharing and laughing over common hardships might let "the others" know we weren't simply always experts in all areas. Reading a book will only get you so far, right? ;)

You can learn a lot about spanning tree by RTFM, but that only goes so far. If you can find a "FM" that discusses converting from, say, default PVST to cross-vendor MST, on a live network across a large campus without an engineer in every closet with a laptop, serial console, and cell phone, let me know :-) The result is typically an unplanned meltdown where everything tries to talk to everything, or closets of bricks that refuse to talk to anyone...
