Considering the LARGE number of messages that are posted here that are
truly non-operational (such as whether certain people have connectivity on
their DSL line), I suspect that Susan was far more concerned with the
slashdot effect of a bazillion people going to look at the bandwidth link
(for the hotel router) that Randy had posted.

I think you are reading too much into the original post.

I hope not. I imagine that one of the niceties for those not attending is
listening in on the exchanges. At least someone's having a good time.
