"mom, he started it!"...i have no recollection of starting any name
calling, but i also don't recall making a claim to be nonconfrontational.

you have provided no evidence that you are actually familiar with even
the most basic concepts of large-scale network engineering with IP. the
only obvious thing here is that you edit a magazine that 5 years ago
stated that the internet is insignificant and BBSs would carry the day.

i can read just fine, thank you. and what i see is you backpedalling.
you specifically stated that you hoped backbone providers would move
their web servers to the absolute best spot on their network (assuming
that were a static location). how exactly does that improve service for
either their dialup, direct digital, or colocation customers?
such a move would accomplish *nothing* other than potentially skewing
your benchmarks int heir favor.
again i ask, what has that got to do with providing the best possible
service for *customers*?
in the comments you quoted. No, I don't think there is something radically
wrong with the methodology. I have no hopes for what providers do. They
other than specifically stating you hope providers move their web
hosts...you have an amazingly short memory.
can do whatever they like. We will continue to publish test results. How
they react to them is no affair of mine.
then why are you posting on nanog?
