Martin and Tom,
How is it a private marketing initiative exactly if the links go to stories on NANOG's website?
This seems deliberately obtuse. It is a private marketing initiative exactly if the links go to private marketing stories on NANOG's website.
Are you saying the very org that brings us together, is not allowed to spur discussion based on newsletter content and cannot provide us with updates
and/or reminders about various things?
More deliberate and fairly unhelpful tongue in cheekery. A link to The NANOG Mailing List Usage Guidelines was cited. That was helpful and authoritative. If the marketing arm of NANOG wishes to change the Guidelines, that will presumably take more formalities than some snarky remarks.
Y'all have been making a mountain out of a molehill.
Last I looked, NANOG members have been making mountains out of any handy materials (or none at all) for several decades now. Folksy condescension is no more welcome or constructive than it has ever been.
And FTR, Tom and Marty make most sense to me in this thread. So far.

What network does Nanog-news operate?
Marketing email doesn’t belong on an operational list. Even if its NANOG marketing itself. (Ack Kentik non involvement).
This is the right comment.
Posts to NANOG’s Mailing List should be focused on operational and technical content only, as described by the NANOG
Bylaws.
Using the NANOG Mailing List as a source for private marketing initiatives, or product marketing of any kind, is prohibited.
Sending this type of message to nanog@ is not appropriate, by our own rules. This issue will be raised at the next members meeting.
