we are in a 'maturing' industry and in trying times.  so margins are low
and people are overworked and underpaid.  non-critical things start to
fall by the wayside.

when it comes to protocols, i am a naggumite.  i disagreed with dr
postel's dictum at the time; we should not accept crap from the other
side.  when it comes to ops, i try to be more tolerant.  it's hard
times, and we all make mistakes (see fun threads on nanog) or can not
cover all desired functions as well as the peanut gallery loudly
demands.
