You also have the sporadic people who say "for whatever reason, I said something on NANOG I shouldn't have because now that I am unemployed from a dot bomb, when I try to get a job, they search the web and these stupid posts I made show up in your archive and can you remove them so I can get a job???" I explain to them the concept of an an archive.
Whats the collective voice of NANOG say, keep it or kill it?
I think we're all big boys (and girls) here and understand that subscribing to a large, archived mailing list will get your subscription address on yet another "1,000 MILLION EMAIL ADDRESSES" CD. I should hope everyone here can implement, or at least ask for, basic spam filtering. This isn't your grandmother's crochet chat group; everyone here should be smart enough to at least glance at the Merit site before subscribing. If you come in here and say things that make you unattractive as a prospective employee, tough crap. :) More jobs for the rest of us. Charles

Has anyone else gotten one of these? It appears they are trolling a Nanog archive on the web and sending these out to posters. *sigh*
Perhaps it should be a nanog AUP violation to archive the list on the web, and merit could keep a single web archive with the e-mail addresses removed / altered to prevent this sort of harvesting.
