I am new to this field and I joined here to learn more. I certainly have heard my share of bashing from linux forums. The more bashing I hear here the less I want to ask a question here. I'm not stupid but I am worried that one question might spark a rash of flames back at me. This is a newbies point of view. -- Scott Grayban Security/Abuse Engineer FCT Enterprises -- www.fctsupport.com On Thursday April 14 2005 09:14, Romain Komorn wrote:
I'm at a bit of a loss trying to understand how bashing other lists constitutes an improvement on bashing other members of the NANOG list.
I think the point of Matthew's email was that no one really cares for the bash fests, regardless of who it targets, be it on list, or off list.
Personally, having joined NANOG a couple of months ago, I've been much more taken aback by the amount of off topic griping about each other or about whoever decides whatever somewhere, than I have been impressed by the amount of useful information to be gleaned from people's posts.
I hadn't ever really planned on joining the post list to be able to send something to the list. I'm a little disappointed that my first urge to post has come from being tired of off-topic rants more than wanting to contribute something useful to the list.

This reminds me of the way others behaved when I entered the field some 25 years ago. Some people were very helpful and friendly. Others responded very arrogantly with the tone of "how stupid you are for asking that question."
I didn't know you read misc@openbsd.org or questions@freebsd.org ... :)
