Which is not to say that I dislike or disrespect cDc. Those old textfiles made the world a better place. Respect for y'all's past achievements, but we don't get to sit on our laurels or avoid recognizing that we have power and a responsibility to use it justly, now.

10.0.0.0 addrs look like roman columns or steel i-beams; institutional, serious, plain. 192.168 evokes the aesthetic of consumer electronics; silver paint flaking off a gracelessly sculpted gray ABS shell. 172.16.0.0 looks like someone made a mistake
