yeah, I agree. this is one of the cases where they "suck more" and I
hoped that folks would be able to use the info to make an educated
guess as to who might suck less.
I'm kind of crazy like that. The last time I tried to warn off
unwitting consumers, I ended up spending $50k on legal fees
defending myself. http://goldengatevw.com/
For some reason, it think its worth it, but most folks seem to think
its off topic and stupid. I give up.

is there any other kind of networking equipment? even the best
of the vendors says "we suck less." the internet is about
building a scalable reliable network out of unreliable
components. unfortunately, most vendors seem to have taken as
license.
