Congratulations MikroTik!
I just wonder and ask myself: how can such subtle errors happen?
Is the author/admin not testing the link when he/she makes such an entry into that file?
It seems MiktoTik lacks a Quality Control manager, or if there is one then he is not doing his job…

Update:
fixed some dupes; now the number reduced to “only” 35+ from 40+ before

Au contraire. MK has a superior QC department. They created the “obsessive compulsive TRAP”.
Looks like it found a victim already.
