as far as i know ISC and renesys have no overlapping businesses at
all.  we certainly don't consider them competitors and as far as i
know, they don't even know who we are.

odd and harsh words.  i have no beef with the ISC at all, no intention
to sue them, and no idea what i would sue them for.  i do have a
problem with people attending nanog for free without paying and
without being speakers (speakers are not those selected at random by
Merit, but rather people whose presentations or panels are approved by
the program committee as part of the official program). 

but indeed, aside from answering these oddly delusional comments on
this list, this topic is better handled on nanog-futures.
