I'm one of those people, but to a limited extent. The information has been
too volumonous and complex for operational people like me to process, and I
think that attributes to at least a portion of others' frustrations with this
and similar threads. Still, I'm a bit surprised that even the CFOs
among us don't seem to have the ability [or tolerance]
to filter/sort/screen mailing list messages.</FONT></P>

face=Consolas>Personally, I'm not much interested in the "improper NANOG
transfer," nor the issues you have with some ARIN board members (mainly because
I don't have the time to care). When you started talking about the
"spammers being the anti-spammers," and mentioned names that I've been familiar
with for years (like John Levine and Matthew Sullivan), my ears perked up, and
my curiosity has been tickled...because the spam problem is something I
work with and can relate to. Admittedly, though, I'm not sure how much of
the stuff I'm interested in learning more about has to do with ARIN
(perhaps off-list is best).</FONT></P>
