   Inspired by JF's heroic attempt to make the Kate Middleton picture thread   
   relevant to can.internet.highspeed, I decided to check out the TORIX MRTG   
   web page.  On their landing page, they have two new records (91 and 92 Gbps)   
   from September 18th, three from the 17th, four from the 11th, four from the   
   4th, etc.  Anyone remember whether any of  those coincide with the release   
   of any of the pictures?     
      
   But I wonder: is it *really* worth making a new entry - sometimes more than   
   one per day - to reflect an increment that's approaching 1%?  When you've   
   been at, say, 10 Gbps for a while and you hit 11 (like around four years   
   ago), maybe it's worth noting every new 1 Gbps increment as those represent   
   10% increases.  Then again, four years ago new peer announcements were about   
   as common, on average, as new 1 Gbps high water marks; today the landing   
   page announces only 1 Gbps increments and one "New Website Unveiled" going   
   back almost two years.  (To be fair, if you click "Read More" you will see a   
   new peer announcement dating back only a little more than a year.)   
      
   Don't get me wrong, I appreciate TORIX and I guess that the internet is just   
   business as usual these days so we shouldn't expect game-changing news very   
   often any more, but it just seems to be as silly as someonw writing "I'm 24   
   years 8 months and 3 days old today" every day on Facebook.
