Understood, so I won't push for one way or the other. However, I thought it might be useful to note that having spent much time on Windows boxes, where I would type "route print" to see the route table, I sometimes forget and find myself typing "route" or "route print" on my FreeBSD boxes too... ;-) Hmmm.... what about having "route" with no parameters just give a helpful message, something like "To see the current routing table, use the netstat(1) command.". ??
