Howdy,
Could we drop the SYN/Denial thread? It's becoming rather base.
I think there are other larger issues at stake in the world, like
routing table growth, code problems, and short-thinking providers
who don't retain talent to intelligently/reliably grow their network.
If the thread is of continued significant benefit, I'd be happy to
host a mail list.
SYNDRIVEL, there's a name. Perhaps another could be suggested?
Please don't thread off that question :-)
