Ah, let's ignore that this makes your uber-pedant attempt invalid
by making up some reason why this particular vendor's product
is overpriced.

Dodge the issue again - tsk tsk :-)

Let's put it back in perspective - 

I said that ADSL hubs didn't exist, but that I presumed that
he was talking about an ADSL router with a built in hub.

You jumped on my pedant mode with some cutting abuse about
how adsl routers with built in hubs don't exist, and that
they were all switches.

I've provided evidence of adsl routers with hubs exist and
you now try run away with thinly veiled threats towards
my mother. 

Then you call me racist, and challenge the basics of
binary maths by trying to introduce the '2', '3' and
'4' bits.

It's just not on. :-)
