Absolutely-- talking about SSH HPN and network tuning sysctls had been my

As I've said before, and to an individual CC:ed here: "Many folks are more apt 
to fault others than they are to fault themselves for the same error."

Well, Thor and Mouse, feel free to keep throwing stones if you like:
"though boys throw stones at the frogs in sport, the frogs die in earnest."
