Do you not even have the slighest fathom of why a thread
subject line is to stay UNCHANGED?

Wrong.  "Troll methods" are employed by those who have no
useful purpose, who only aim to cause waste or elicit
emotion from others who had a useful goal.

Then why did you take the bait?  

One the very first post by the troll, a trend is set.  We
could see instantaneously that there was no purpose.  Of
course if one wrote an elaborate enough proxy, all these
modems could be teamed to achive a higher bitrate.  Even so,
it would be an incredible waste since broadband exists and
could achieve so much higher with far fewer slave systems.

To concentrate on an unrealistic scenario, the OP began with
an obvious attempt at unfruitful discourse.
