And finally, because I realized after hitting "Send" that the comment above
could be misinterpreted, and because sending self-followups is my favorite
thing EVER, I feel I should point out that those words were meant to be entirely
self-deprecating.  The gist is: "Gee, I'm such a dummy for not noticing
(or else immediately forgetting) Omar's clear statement that he is, in
fact, using a Linksys router, before sending my overly-verbose reply
predicated upon some uncertainty as to whether or not that might be the
case."  Or more concisely, "durrr".

Even if I notice some obscure opportunity for THIS post to be misinterpreted,
I promise not to send another post correcting it. Really.
