You know, I stopped clicking on every "Help me with my router" post long ago. Maybe mentioning a specific problem in the question text is actually a better idea.

The inevitable deletion of that comment will lead directly to the inevitable obsolescence of this thread.

Which will lead to the inevitable inability of the falcon to hear the falconer.

You love it? Hmmph.

I personally do not like it, not even a little bit.

And passive-aggressive should not be done at all. Aggressive-aggressive, though, that has its time and place.

Gentlemen, even as we stand here and do nothing, the gyre is widening.

Are you ready to take responsibility for that?

Which will lead to the inevitable inability of the falcon to hear the falconer.

Which inevitably leads the Department of Homeland Security to shutdown all airspace within a 200 mile radius of the falcon for 48 hours while Fox News attempts against all logic to convince people that falcons are originally from France.
