from the desk of stinkpot

my console was full of the following errors, despite having internet sharing disabled on my mac:

12/30/08 6:32:37 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.InternetSharing) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

the solution: simply activate, then deactivate all of various forms of internet sharing in the sharing preference pane.  not really sure why it worked, but it did.
