“It was my rerouting to circuit B that saved him.”

Dear XXXXXX,
You know, you're right. We haven't tried rerouting FTP (File Transfer
Protocol) packets to the server. Let's see … we can peel off the FTP traffic
from the HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) traffic at the Primary Intarweb
Interface Matrix and feed it through the secondary sub-intranet bridge
instead of through the primary LAN (Local Area Network) tokenizer substation
hub … hmm … while the FTP traffic is now going to the secondary sub-intranet
bridge it's not getting past the IEEE (Institute of Electrical & Electronics
Engineers) 802.3 CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)/CD (Carrier Detect)
packet scrubber. Odd.
Okay, instead, let's see if I can reroute the traffic from the secondary sub-
intranet bridge through the dual-Φ power transformer at … let's see …
probably need to make sure the bits are phased at 60Hz (Hertz) at 51.5° (to
induce harmonic pyramidal overtones), making sure to bypass the GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) (dangerous, I know, but if you know what you are
doing, and are very careful, it should be okay) and then tap the secondary
coil on the server in question, couple it to the APCI (Advanced Configuration
and Power Interface) DMA (Direct Memory Access) via the unused SCSI (Small
Computer System Interface) controller and then finally into the TCP
(Transmission Control Protocol)/IP (Internet Protocol) stack … and—
Cool!
It worked!
Try it now!
Now, off to repair the primary LAN tokenizer substation hub.
[And no, despite how tempting it might have been, I did not send this as a
reply, but instead restarted the FTP server.]
