[AusNOG] Cisco 7200 routers for sale

[Christopher Pollock]

Correlation != Causality, although there's certainly a strong correlation
between cheap networking gear and questionable deployment decisions.  A
person who would deploy gear on defaults would definitely think it's a
great idea to buy Mikrotik.

The reverse may be less true, but I'll leave it to the list as to whether
or not these two independent decisions are examples of the same thing.
