Look, if somebody asks the question, I will provide the answer. Check back on my history, if you feel - you will see that I never start talking about this subject unless somebody asks for information. Somebody starts something that is already OT, then I will take the argument to its logical conclusion.
Yet I don't see anybody getting on the case of the person who originally started the thread. If everybody here does not like me going off on Juniper, then why not set a new rule for the mailing list - nobody here is allowed to ask questions about Juniper? . Then I'll follow a policy of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. That's cool with me. But the fact that if somebody's asking means that somebody wants to know. That's the way I see it.
