Wrong and wrong; there are definitely clues at the helm, and it 
sure appears to be a user from offered evidence. As a matter of
fact the OWNER and OPERATOR of the site said as much in mail that
was forwarding in response to your first thrashing about on the 
matter. See http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg03630.html

Repeated assertions of beliefs does not transmogrify them into
facts. People who insist on making nanog [or some other public 
fourm] their first stop on an troubleshooting chain will find 
themselves wildly disappointed. In this case, see the FAQ for
more aappropriate places to spew.
