You made my point sir..

Your OWN RC and several others are TRYING to sell the RVIA flags as the best 
and most swell thing.

The fact that this RVIA flag shows a HUB that has been gone for 1.5 months now 
and that the node flying that flag also resides in a region that had its RC 
(Carol) also pushing for these flags, goes to show that the biggest inherrent 
weakness with that flag in regards to treating it as reliable source data for 
purposes or routing.
