I'll file that comment where it belongs -- in file 13. If a major catastrophe, albeit more human than network-related (although lots of network-related issues here, too), isn't on-topic, than I fail to see what is. - ferg -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> wrote: Did I miss the memo announcing the Slashdot commentary section had been extended to the NANOG mailing list? It is one thing to expand on a story with useful insights, but this entire thread is just restating the obvious for the sake of hearing your own voice (or the digital equivalent thereof). If I wanted to read the uninformed reactions of random people to random news stories wondering why cell phone circuits fill up during natural disasters I would go to slashdot and click "Read More...". This stuff doesn't even come close to being NANOG worthy, let alone on-topic or appropriate. -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
