Bumping is easy when your goal is to get bumped, not to fly. :-:

Only if your ISP DNS craps out regularly. OpenDNS still goes down sometimes when I was using them regularly but it wasn't often.

I'm proud of my comparatively paltry VDB total this year, all three as "incidental" bumps. Even with those, I still have two impending MRs on SkyTeam USA and $200 on UA unallocated.

Oh good. Just when I thought my day couldn't get more annoying, a noisy protest has broken out next to my office building.

Possibly. The vuvuzelas make this group particularly annoying.
