Re: wet-behind-the-ears whippersnapper seeking advice on building a nationwide network -- ENOUGH ALREADY!

My apologies to all. I was hoping the conversation would be of an 
operational nature.


I deleted the vast majority of messages in the thread as they weren't 
relevant.


If anyone wants I can post smaller scope subject threads. Or a summary 
of the operationally relevant bits in the thread.

This has deviated so far from a useful technical discussion, it isn't even 
amusing anymore.

Does my email have operational/technical content?

ANSWER: NO.

Would I be interested in reading this email?

ANSWER: YES, obviously (unless it wasn't me posting it.)  I am also the 
guy at work who everyone avoids because I am the annoying talker who never 
shuts up.  I often get confused when people just walk off in the middle of 
a conversation (ie: when I won't shut the hell up and/or let anyone else 
talk.)


Would 10,000 other Internet engineers want to read this?

NO.

STOP.

ps.  Those who chime in with a witty comment or yet another opinion just 
when the thread seems to be slowing down are just as guilty as the ones 
who keep it doing by writing paragraph after paragraph refuting what the 
others have said.  (When neither side has an inkling of wanting to 
acquiesce to the other side.)


ObGodwin: Hitler.

Can we be done now?
