Go back to the start of the thread: he's not complaining about DRC,  
he's complaining that to get DRC to shut up he has to create  
unconnected nets, which then show up in his netlist.

I'm the one complaining about DRC. But my complaint isn't that it's  
buggy: my complaint is that it is a source of newbie confusion, and  
not especially useful at finding actual problems.
