Oops. Because:
1. It was after midnight the first day back at work, and I really
shouldn't post in that condition. (At least when I'm drunk the posts
are usually amusing to everyone else.)
2. Because I'm very wary of putting too many zeros or ones (bits) in
an IP address. For instance, 192.168.1.224 is a bad address for a
host when the netmask is 255.255.255.240, but that's not always
obvious at first glance.
