Yes well said, but when we have seen witchcraft, tarrot cards, voodoo and the 
rubbing of lucky rabbits feet used to compile source data, well what else can 
be said. We all know that everyone needs a routing chart, even those that route 
*.* to their uplink? Its also been proven scientifically by the IRN committee 
that when a hub gets their hands on a route chart, the hub operator goes into 
mindless trance, remember the voodoo magic??? :X

But seriously if you look at the major mail movers present at the onset of this 
route list contoversy only 2 of the 7 had difficulty and it was only based on 
ego, anyone else who has latched onto them since is doing so for the sake of 
political allegiances.
