If it were a bug with "my" infrastructure, how could the problem occur
only with certain sites? Why would the problem occur always with the
same exact sites? Why would the problem never have occured with
different operating systems/kernels? Why would the exact same sites be
unreachable with this same buggy kernel regardless of which DSL provider
I am connected to?
If there is a way for this to happen, I would like to know. Also, did
you read the information I provided? Because it answers this issue
EXACTLY and clarifies what is happening and why, including a link to a
relevant comment on the LKML. It may be that "my" router or whatever
has an issue - but that would mean so do millions of other people in the
world. This has been acknowleged on the LKML and if it is Debian's
policy to force millions of end-users to suffer because of some policy
then it is wrong.
