Dear Lazyweb,
I remember reading an article a couple years ago about this guy who got a complaint from his users that "they couldn't reach any site greater than some number of miles away," and he mocked them because "networks just don't work that way", and after a couple days of poking and prodding he discovered that, lo and behold, the users were right, they couldn't reach sites greater than some number of miles away. Much investigation ensued, with some really wonky error being at fault but having exactly the described effect.
In the spirit of April Fools, (because this is not an April Fools gag, and see my post two posts down about that disclaimer) ... does anyone have a link to this story?
UPDATED: Here we go. Link to the story.
