I dont think that there's any issue at all to be honest. NANOG isn't
just for the clued.

And more to the point - if somebody manages to go through all the hoops needed
to ask a basic question on the NANOG list, it demonstrates a desire to
accumulate clue - so we should encourage those people. I'll make the
prediction that in 5 years, the person who *started* this thread will be
substantially more clued than the lead network engineer at many AS's (you all
know the ones I mean - that AS that's 1 or 2 hops away from you that on a
weekly basis do something that makes you want to go and inject clue with a
baseball bat..)
