And if anyone else here thinks they know what is on topic, please tell us. I am getting bored by the flood of negative messages that say only "You can't say that here". Please stop telling us what you cannot say on NANOG. If you reallymust register your discontent with a message, then at least take the time to list some of the topics thatbelong on the list. What is NANOG all about? What is relevant to network operations? Is NANOG a narrowly focused technical list for a small group of technical specialists? Or is it some kind of broader industry-focused list that covers many issues relevant to the industry?
It is pretty simple, really. These are examples of the topics that are on-topic.
1. "that posting is off-topic".2. "somebody with clue from ${SmallUnknownOperator} (e.g. AOL) please contact me off list about a connectivity issue.:
3. "that posting is terribly off-topic".4. "anybody know where I can get a free 300-baud dialup in ${Major_City_with_Wiffies_Everywhere}
5. "Since when is NANOG about ${some-non-BGP-operational-issue}"6. "Somebody left their nerd-pack in the meeting room for ${obscure_NANOG_topic"
