You sentiments are appreciated. While the initial post in this thread
could have been stated in a more appropriate manner, the general sentiment
was, in my opinion, appropriate. LVS-TUN is a valid way to mitigate
the damage that might be done in a disaster (man-made or natural)
of this magnitude. If your primary director is brought down, some
work with DNS (remap the service IP address) and LVS (bring up a new
director at one of the other sites) and you are providing service
again, even if it may be degraded somewhat, depending on the circumstances.

I saw that Joe has offered to work on the How-To, and frankly, I think
that most Americans are not so sensitive (or at least should not be)
that they cannot withstand this particular paragraph.
The wording is actually a bit prophetic, as I believe it was written
before the recent tragedy, though after a much smaller terrorist attack
at the same location in 1993.

This will certainly be my last post on the matter.

As far as I am aware, I did not know anybody working there, but
it doesn't matter - I am very angry about the whole thing.

Now I remember who I stole my sig from - my hat is off to you,
and if you really object, I can stop using mine (unless you
borrowed yours as well, from someone else).
