Re: the group

...

I wouldn't consider gatewaying nanog into usenet land (even one way) to be the world most constructive exercise... I do. I read NANOG in a private local newsgroup.

i think joel meant not gating nanog to the real usenet, and was not commenting on private use of usenet tools. i agree with not gating it to the real usenet. wouldn't want to pollute the usenet. :-) randy
