In my travels to the southeast US, I found there are still people there
who consider it inappropriate for a white woman to date a black man.  I
would hope that all on this list understand how illogical that is.  To me
it seems just as illogical to say it's inapproprate to use one word over
another, when they both have the same meaning.

Lots of people don't like me, and I like it that way.  Saves me a lot
nuisance from people who might think you're their friend.

>From the number of personal replies I got about these topics, it seems
like many people are interested in sharing information about how to do
routing on a budget, or how to avoid getting shot in the foot with your
Cisco box.  I thought my posts were far more technical and relevant to
network operation than the marketing hype being spewed by some
others.  However, if the consensus is my posts are off-topic, I'll happily
shut up wait to be told what are accpetable topics.
