I would be very careful in making sweeping statements about home

Just to be clear, that wasn't a typo in my previous message.  I  
did not mean 802.11.  I meant IEEE 802.1D.

Yes, and I am pointing out that there is a significant set of  
networks, mine being an example, which are not one 802.1d network.

I don't think I'm in disagreement.  Am I?

Maybe not, but our statements appear to be diametrically opposed. You  
appear to be saying that "most home networks for the foreseeable  
future will be well-served by just a single bridged 802.1 network"  
while I am saying "there is a significant set of networks which are  
not one 802.1d network".

Maybe you can help me understand in what way we are saying the same  
thing? :-)
