Michael, how are these two statements not in agreement? It looks to me
like you're saying the same thing: A network which claims "tier 1" status
by failing to buy any transit, subjects its customers to connectivity
failures when depeering happens, while a normal multi-homed network does
not inflict that failure upon its customers. Isn't that what you're both
saying?

dunderheaded or offensive, for which everyone has my apologies in advance.
