	hum...  when and how did you first learn of the NANOG list?
	a one shot posting to some other list you were on?  word of mouth?
	a directive from an employer?

	the "NANOG" community has certainly evolved over time, including
	acceptable posting behaviours...  now i am no expert here, but 
	i'm not persuaded that evolution should stop here, at the apparent
	peak of its lifecycle.  

	If there is to be triage, i'd suggest a return to its core mission,
	as encompassed in its name. (or at least a serious re-evaluation of 
	a strict "north american" network focus.. not EU networks, not 
	asian networks, not african networks, and certainly not global or
	trans-national networks)

	as usual, YMMV.
