Mel-

Saku did not call *you* any names. He called your *incorrect statements* in this thread 'bizzard drivel'. Which he is 
absolutely correct about. While your intentions may certainly have been to help, your statements here have been frankly 
dead wrong and did not accomplish that.

Probably just want to take the L here.

Saku,

What is actually appalling is that a member of NANOG calls “bizarre drivel” the honest and sincere attempts by other 
members to help identify the possible problem. There’s no cause to be uncivil, people can disagree without stooping to 
name-calling.
