<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1427950390323_6060">since your a johhny come lately to this list you likely wouldnt know which ISP's I've worked for, nor how many 10's of thousands of customers the networks had, the arguments I had to improve things, arguments over cost constraints for hardware and PoP's, so keep going, I and a few others who know this history (some ex-colleagues, some not, some friends, some not), are likely enjoying watching you make an ass out of yourself with your attempt to belittle me - I know I am.</div>
