Ralph, I've been publically mocked, called "one of the most dangerous criminals on the Internet", accused of "inciting others to break laws", and other cheery things. Those are direct ad hominem attacks, and quite possibly libel or defamation. IANAL, though, and I don't pretend to be. RD> posters off the list. At some point in the future it may RD> become necessary to block whole domains from having posting RD> privileges. It almost seems like that might be a/the goal. For all we know, someone could be spoofing {him|her}self in an attempt to cry "victim" and have Hushmail blocked. I have no problem with Hushmail being disallowed (part of list AUP is to have real name present), but others indicated fear of employers catching them posting. *shrug* It's not my mailing list. Perhaps new subscribers from "suspicious" domains could be moderated for, say, the first 10-20 posts. That would help cut down on the trash without being a huge administrative hassle. Or maybe being a harsh dictator and cutting down OT threads will help deal with things from a social slant. The on-topic discussion over the weekend was nice while it lasted... Maybe the novelty will wear off before everyone on NANOG is spoofed. Maybe we can have some actual operational discussions again. Or, failing that, a quiet NANOG-L is not a bad thing.
