No, I was in fact replying to Liam since while we have disagreed at 
times, we are both on the same side of the fence, yet agreeing that 
there can be two different ways to set up networking. Mine is totally 
static, and he prefers the (usually) works anyplace model. My system has 
zero portability, and it just works.

Someone has a sig line I've seen, something about the reasonable man 
adapts to his environment, whereas the unreasonable man adapts the 
environment, so progress is driven by the unreasonable man. I'm in the 
unreasonable pen, with the gate padlock welded shut.

Liam has a stubborn streak as wide as mine, and neither of us is known to 
be too terribly PC although he has handled the thread CA started well, 
better than I would have, so I did an Andy Capp and did a shaddup.
