He is using sarcasm as social tool to assign a non zero cost to the email
client to nanog list network link.  Randy, when he was more
curmudgeon-like, used to perform this duty on a very frequent basis.

Oh, it is still ok to ask dumb questions, just be prepared to take your
lumps.

DHCP, have also broken down, I guess.  I blame the Internet Software
Consortium for people wanting to migrate _whole /24s_ instead of
doing a renumbering exercise when they shift gear from using one
connection to the Internet to another, since obviously their
software (like BIND and DHCP) is horribly flawed and unusable.

You can pay each of the thousands of ISPs whose routing tables
will have to carry your prefix in their routing systems... have
you considered that?  (I'll do it for 100 U.S. dollars, inquire within!)
