121 So, because you THINK two ports is the default, then it is even when you
122 can't post a single thing to back it up? Keep in mind, I researched
123 this and posted how I did it. That research does NOT support what you
124 THINK. The sooner you realize that just because you think something is
125 the default doesn't make it so, the better for you it will be. As I
126 also pointed out, I'm not the only one who says you are wrong. To this
127 point, no one else has posted to support your claim either.
128
129 To put it bluntly, two ports is NOT the default and never has been
130 either. Based on the research I did, it isn't even going to be the
131 default anytime soon. You are wrong, period. Until you can post a fact
132 that backs up your claim, you are wrong. I've said it, others have said
133 it and yet you are still posting something as fact even when proven to
134 be wrong.
135
136 Whether you call it a bubble or call it cow crap, you are not posting
137 facts or even a informed opinion. I call it BS. Let me know when you
138 can post some facts to back up your claim.
