Well, I was hoping we'd get the theoretical reason for this issue posted to
the list for those interested in understanding the technology, vs knowing
what commands to type to avoid a particular pitfall . I worked a pretty

inter area routing issues which are well rooted in theory, but arcane to
some degree.
