Jeff,

My post was made tongue-in-cheek. I ruined the satire by marking it
"satire" for the humour impaired, still no luck...

See Satire in dictionary:

Sati n. 1.a. ... work that attacks human folly through irony,
derision, or wit.

FWIW, I have made my share of silly posts and silly questions in this
forum and learned from the replies.

And I accept your offer to talk about IP routing any time. you will
find that I have worked in the networking field for 13 years and have
learned a bit.

are
about 15 areas of concern that I could come back and completely

destroy the
person on in that one sentence. But, why? They don't know. They

only know
that they are having a problem and are smart enough to ask for help.

Sorry, if we've offended you with our ignorance in the past. Let's

talk
about RIP/RIP2 and IP routing sometime.

[instrcutor to student on a night flight]: In case you have an

engine
failure at night and you are going down for an off-airport landing,
remember to turn the landing light on so you see where you are

going to
crash.

[student]: What if I don't like what I see?
[instructor]: Turn the light off.
