I want to clarify what I said yesterday evening. I was speaking as myself there and not issuing any official Moderation Committee action. No one is or was being censored; no posts were removed, and no one is prohibited from continuing the discussion on-list. Signing that email with my Moderation Committee title made the message read more formally than I intended, and it blurred the line between a personal recommendation and committee action. I apologize for my mistake there.
I'm hereby declaring my intention to run for Supreme Ruler of the NANOG Moderation Committee. Once elected and elevated to that position my first action will be to institute a shadow mailing list called nanog-1d10ts. All posts from certain subscribers are redirected there instead of to the main list. Whoever started this thread's name will be the first addition to that list. Nobody will be any the wiser because no candidate for that list has the technical ability to read mail headers and the main list will be blissfully peaceful again. -- Niels.
