Guys, They did post to NANOG when they performed the aforementioned s/vix.com/mail-abuse.org/g: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2001-04/msg00426.html Seeing as we've all seen people complaining about them not doing this, when they obviously did, I don't see how it would've helped everyone had they posted to NANOG before the July 31 cutoff. I'm not saying that not posting to NANOG was a "good" idea (well, ok, it was stupid) but it seems it wouldn't have helped quite a few. -- Marius Strom <marius@marius.org> Professional Geek/Unix System Administrator URL: http://www.marius.org/ http://www.marius.org/marius.pgp 0xF5D89089 *updated 2001-02-26* It is a natural law.
