At first glance, that sounds wise... but there is a problem with that strategy... doing that can EASILY cause a person to miss (or read too late!) critical "zero hour" issues that come up on occasion... btw - Even thought the following analogy is far from perfect, this sort of reminds me of a poor quality spam filtering system where the end users spend so much time looking for FPs in the "spam folder"...that the spam might as well have been delivered to the inbox! In the meantime, I'm very good at quickly ignoring the messages that aren't relevant to my business nor time-sensitive... based on the subject line... especially since it is easy to ignore entire threads based on their subject line... and NANOG's volume isn't huge... but then the word "URGENT" in all caps gets a little annoying. -- Rob McEwen +1 (478) 475-9032
