I can respect your frustration, Forbes. Some may remember a thread that I brought up "Is RIP Stable" because our network engineer swore up & down that RIP was flaky between two sites and the upstream router was dropping all the routes to this site every few minutes etc etc etc yada yada yada blah blah blah.
Knowing that it just didn't seem right, I told him that something is configured incorrectly and that's that. I made our manager sit down with him and watch him go over the RIP config line by line. Since Mikrotik doesn't allow you to put comments on each "network" or "neighbor" statement, had to look up each IP in our documentation. Was time-consuming, but he found HIS mistake. ;) My point is, keep working from your edge back and you'll find it. Persistence. Good luck.
