It's the large off topic threads that historically have followed your blog and news posts. Windows filters aren't the most reliable beyond a simple tag to home in on. Thanks for the tag.

I enjoy the posts. But a subject tag isn't really necessary. I can generally figure out what is on topic or not and use the delete key when not on topic. I think the list would be a poorer placw w/o those posts. My opinion.

I take issue with what you folks think is relative. It's _clearly_ unbalanced, unfair, and biased. I'm in the process of turning back up a major portion of the state network over the next couple of days hete in texas, and reports of network status is somehow not on-topic? I'm thinking that NANOG is just completely FUBAR'd... You guys can have your boys club. As for the rest of the readership, I'm Sorry you are ending up with a mailing list that is ruled by a select few, who have decided that they wish to control the content of "operations". What a damned shame.

The post I presented was directly on-topic: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg11872.html The issue you decided to comment on was a one-line rider about the excessive heat in cetral Texas today. While the latter may have well been off-topic, the general premise of the post was most certainly directly on-topic. - ferg -- "Hannigan, Martin" <hannigan(a)verisign.com> wrote: All I am asking is that you tag the post so I can filter out the followups. -M<

Reuters: [snip] Joe Chandler, spokesman for BellSouth Corp., said about 560,000 customers were without service, mainly in northern Louisiana and northern Mississippi. He said crews already were out in areas that weren't severely flooded. "A lot of these lines are affected by loss of power," Chandler said. "Once power is restored, you'll see our outages go down." San Antonio-based SBC Communications Inc. said on its Web site that its core network in Texas "is fully functional, with the exception of a small central office in Sabine Pass," near hard-hit Port Arthur. Mark Siegel of Cingular Wireless said that "well over half of our sites are up" in Texas and Louisiana.

re: "Fixed already. There was cable ct bteween Moscow and St. Petersburg." Admittedly OT, but interesting for purpose of providing contrast, from Ghana: http://www.balancingact-africa.com/news/current1.html - Ghana Telecom (GT) has lost the underground network cable that provides communications to a number of major government offices in the Osu Castle in Accra, according to The Statesman newspaper. Bulldozer operative Collins Antwi is currently in police custody for causing unlawful damage to state property after his machine allegedly tore through the GT cabling as he worked on a site close to the Guinean Embassy. Around 7,000 users are thought to have been cut off following Antwis actions, including workers at the National Police Headquarters, the National Fire Service and the Bureau of National Investigations. The Statesman says that with the network down the running of the country will be a Herculean task.
