Been happening for many years.  How do you think the original  
Boardwatch / Keynote speed tests were gamed?  If you have any real  
experience on the Internet, you are well acquainted with anycast web  
servers.

Okie, I give up.  You clearly have no idea what you are actually  
talking about, so talk away, no one is listening.  I started talking  
to you 'cause I was having a bad day and it's fun to feed the troll.   
It's not fun any more, and I'm sure others are tired of the thread.

One last comment (although I doubt you will understand): Reality  
trumps... well, you.
