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<

Crews Survey Rita's Damage

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.

Call to Arms: Rita Scams
by Gadi Evron 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Good evening. This is a notice from MWP, the malicious websites and phishing research & operational mailing list. Over the next few days some of us are going to process information about sites that will probably be used for Rita scams. Through MWP resources and ISP connections we are going to make sure these sites are taken off-line as soon as we detect them. Also, via reg-ops, an operational list for registrars, we are going to see if we can get the domains terminated at the registrar level. To accomplish this we don't want to rely only on our sources, but rather issue a Call to Arms to the public. If you know of a new Rita Hurricane Scam, please notify us by emailing me directly at ge(a)linuxbox.org with the subject line "Rita Report", where we will be processing them for the next week. We hope to get the cooperation of several incident response mechanisms both in the US and abroad. We will update you as we proceed and when we are done. If you run an incident response team that can handle Internet abuse and would like to take part, please contact us as well. Thank you for your help. Gadi Evron.
