Falling for address collection (Was: Evil Bit and Spread Spectrum IP Addressing - NANOG Source Address Shaping)

Mon Mar 5 10:59:28 UTC 2012

I'm sorry but I have failed to understand the grammar of these bizarre posts. Is it just me or do they actually make very little sense?

What is perhaps scary is that I know somebody who talks just like that (i.e. makes little sense) and I really thought it may be them... It isn't because they died last year, but still, who knows..
