This is a bold statement. You can trust me that I know _exactly_
what I'm talking about here. You might want to check my professional
background to verify.

"The netmask he uses makes it a class C subnet" is totally wrong.
Classes were address ranges, in which a subnet mask was implicit.
NOT the other way 'round.
To be precise 12.12.12.0/24 doesn't exist in Classful Thinking at all,
so speaking about "this is Class X" is wrong anyway.
"They are /24s of of the former Class A range" is the only correct
statement about these two networks.
Anyway, this is off-topic here and was meant to go via private mail
in the first place, my fault. If you bother to follow up (please
AFTER reading a good book on networking history), do so via private
mail.
