   And somehow juniper (and juniper support engineers for large routers) is unaware of these things? I'm skeptical. Particularly for ongoing problems where second and third level support get involved.

   You're aware you don't have to accept the salary offered, right? You can take less, and I even bet few employers will complain. I gonna let you start the trend and I'll hold back though. I think you misread the complaints:

    Yeah, but Gruber is apparently upset about standard markdown, but not about the other dozen uses of markdown all over the place. It's a bit late to get upset about calling things X Markdown. If it where a trademark, I think he'd
