<nitpick>
Isn't [one-to-many] NAT (aka NAT/PAT) what people refer to as the
"router"** anyway?  I mean, it's the Network Address Translation / Port
Address Translation (NAT/PAT) that handles the actual communication**
between the two networks**?

**And not actually any routing?  Hence why it's not really "router+NAT"
but just "'router' aka NAT"?
</nitpick>

Don't mean to be anal on this, but I'm starting nitpick more because I
had a client months back that was so thick on what a "router" is that I
couldn't get them to understand they needed a "real router."  I.e., they
had more than one internal subnet to their main location (as well as
several other locations).

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
