Just a suggestion, Noel.  The world would greatly benefit by a very
detailed technical book written by you (and others) .  A book
that completely documents your  knowledge base.  IMHO., you could move on
to the 'next level' of the issue; and the 'world' would have a chance
to catch up.  Then your 'head banging' could be transformed 
into 'key banging'..... explaining to the more pedestrian engineers
the nuts and bolts of your intellect.

My guess is (apologies for the tacit barb) ... if Einstein could
convince the world the value of relativity physics, then is it
possible to move beyond 'banging heads' on scalable routing
on a global scale.

Best Regards,

Tim
