The post in question was NOT "off topic junk". It was a brief cite and quote from a news article discussing the status of 3 major North American Networks following an huge storm, such a post is 100% ON-topic for the North American Network Operators Group. Your position about tagging "off topic junk" may have merit but you picked an ON-TOPIC post to whine about. Shame on you. jc (cc'd to nanog to clarify my position to the whole list, replies set to nanog-futures)

Requst for tech/peering contact to Qwest, Bresnan/ATT Worldnet(?) (for Montana)
by Michael Loftis 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Please reply privately, off-list... I know this is probably not the best place, but Qwest, being Qwest, if I call their main numbers and try to ask about peering, they do s/peering/transit/ and route me to sales. I need to speak to someone in Qwest about peering at NWIX in Missoula, MT -- http://www.nwix.org/ -- Modwest (my employer) has a decent number of local customers on both of these providers networks, and employees being serviced on Bresnan's network. Bresnan I know has IP gear here in the facility, I just need to get the contact of someone who has the authority to get them plugged into NWIX in Missoula and setup a BGP peering session. I have a sales contact with Bresnan, but, if Bresnan's network guys/gals are on here and listening, this could hasten the process. Qwest I know has a cabinet with an ONS15454, however, I'm not sure about IP. I'm not requesting global peering for either of them (we're just a small content/hosting provider) however I'd like to atleast have Montana customers/local customers see us via the direct link rather than having to go out one of our transit links. Thanks again everyone, I now return you to your (err.. quasi?) operational content! :) -- "Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds." -- Samuel Butler

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<
