Sorry. My sig wasn intended as pure humor, not as satire of the poster I resonded to. My apology for any implication otherwise.

Imagine the problems that would result if everyone on the internet decided to warlord, and put a personal political statement - decidedly offensive to some - on each and every email they sent out. I for one understood what he meant. But then again, I look for the spirit of what a person says, instead of picking apart the words that they say it with. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of measl@mfn.org Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 5:54 PM To: Rowland, Alan D Cc: 'nanog@merit.edu' Subject: RE: Hi On Tue, 11 Dec 2001, Rowland, Alan D wrote:
One would hope a Cisco employee, or better yet, their employer would have enough clue to have whacked this mole 24 hours after it appeared let alone a week later. Guess not. Then perhaps guilty as charged?
Guilty for clue-impairment is a lot different than guilty of intent to spread. As for clue-impairment, I think everyone here agrees that Cisco should have this well filtered. If this was your intended statement, then yes, agreed. It was the implication of malice that I think was inappropriate, especially in a public forum.

Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
