Not only does this garbage not belong on the NANOG mailing list, it appears to have been cross posted to some other lists where it may or may not be appropriate. If I wanted to listen to a discussion on the IAHC/CORE, it's "competitors", and other wild politically orientated stuff, I would look somewhere else than NANOG. However, I don't look any farther than the always comical com-priv for my entertainment. I've been trying not to comment on this thread, however, now that it has fallen into name calling, take it elsewhere, preferably into private e-mail (who knows, your name calling might cease if the only person to hear it is the one being abused). NANOG list administrator(s): Is there any way that a person can be removed from the posting list? Is there a policy for such removal? If not, can one be developed? -Chris At 11:03 PM 11/25/97 +0000, Bob Allisat wrote:

And Declan, I'm happy to say, has found his place in life as mindless reactionary & smear campaigner. In- stead of addressing any of the real issues he is content and contrite to insult me. The liberty flag Declan McCullagh wraps himself in at every opportunity appears to be a little tattered of late. Actually its no more than a memory alas.
What does Declan think of CORE and the Memorandum of understanding? What does he think about requiring new registries to pay non-refundable US $10,000 and requiring a US$300,000 line of credit, five (5) full time staff all of which come out to roughly a half million dollar price tag for new registries? What does the guy think about IODesign's .WEB and Skyscape's .ART registries being confiscated by the IAHC/CORE? And what about Eugene's activities? And how about Declan's thoughts about Jon Postel and his crowd trying to monopolize Internet governance without a shred of public input? We don't hear anything about the issue. Only smear tactics and insults.
Adress the issues Declan. We are not all stupid enough to simply dismiss the issues because you say I'm nuts. The issue remain smack in your face. Address them or be quiet in future.
