Thanks for good words. You're one of the people whose e-mails I always open
as soon as the feed comes through. Good thoughts from you are a high
compliment, and I appreciate it...
I tried to incorporate all the points you made with the exception of the
overuse of "broadcast"... I just wasn't smart enough to find all the places
I misused it. Perhaps I'll have better luck tomorrow after a bit of
sleep...
Thanks again, and may your dampening shields always hold up...

Your document is essentially good and I liked how nice you were about
making minor changes.
My comment about HSRP was one I have to make to lots of Cisco people,
even though it's picky. The acronym stands for Hot Standby Router
Protocol, not Hot Standby Routing Protocol. Even some Cisco
documentation has it wrong. It's no biggie, but it worries me that
newbies will think it's a routing protocol
OK, back to StarTrek and "Captain, I can't penetrate the Ferengi
dampening field!" It was really on tonight! I died laughing. My hubby
though I'd gone crazy. :-)
If this is an old thread, I apologize. Sometimes when I read e-mail
from a different computer, as I am doing now, I get old e-mail. (The
e-mail server is a Mac, so what can you expect! ;-)
