Not arguing that it can be done. However, in this case, the NOC wanted to see the flow through, from 5 to maybe 60 possible points, and have them all on one diagram. In this instance, it was necessary.

Keep in mind, also, that this was a printout (gotta love those ploters), not electronic, so there was no drill-down. Everything had to be on one layer.
