Unfortunately for NANOG, Bert Hubert is well-credentialed and insightful,
whereas I bias instead for “funny” and “loud.”

But I shall do my level best.

Concur.

It seems as if they're no longer written by non-native English speakers, which 
goes a long way towards making them more insidious.  While still perfectly 
intelligible, most folks who use English as a second language don't speak in 
the same voice as, say, Wells Fargo corporate communications.

In my early days of network admining, a coworker told me a (apocryphal) story 
of 3com shipping a batch of 80K cards with identical MAC addresses, which they 
then had to recall.

Unfortunately a cursory Google turns up nothing, so I suppose he was either 
misinformed or pulling my leg.
