Wait aren't you on NYIIX and Any2? Those two alone are good for 5-7
times a year like clockwork.

Please allow me to send you a complementary copy of "The Twelve
Days of NYIIX" for your caroling collection this December:

On the first day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        A BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the second day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the third day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the fourth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Four Foundry crashes,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the fifth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Five flapping sessions,
        Four Foundry crashes,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the sixth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Six maintenances notices,
        Five flapping sessions,
        Four Foundry crashes,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the seventh day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Seven broadcast floods,
        Six maintenances notices,
        Five flapping sessions,
        Four Foundry crashes,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the eighth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Eight defaulting peers,
        Seven broadcast floods,
        Six maintenances notices,
        Five flapping sessions,
        Four Foundry crashes,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the ninth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Nine CDP neighbors,
        Eight defaulting peers,
        Seven broadcast floods,
        Six maintenances notices,
        Five flapping sessions,
        Four Foundry crashes,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the tenth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Ten proxy ARPs,
        Nine CDP neighbors,
        Eight defaulting peers,
        Seven broadcast floods,
        Six maintenances notices,
        Five flapping sessions,
        Four Foundry crashes,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Eleven OSPF hellos,
        Ten proxy ARPs,
        Nine CDP neighbors,
        Eight defaulting peers,
        Seven broadcast floods,
        Six maintenances notices,
        Five flapping sessions,
        Four Foundry crashes,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me,
        Twelve peers in half-duplex,
        Eleven OSPF hellos,
        Ten proxy ARPs,
        Nine CDP neighbors,
        Eight defaulting peers,
        Seven broadcast floods,
        Six maintenances notices,
        Five flapping sessions,
        Four Foundry crashes,
        Three routing leaks,
        Two forwarding loops,
        And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.
