This MS v Unix debate is a very interesting discussion.
To some of you. To others of us, it is a long-dead horse.
However, I'd like to take a moment to inject my observations.
I'd like the NANOG list to be restricted to Network Operations issues, or at the very least, Network Operations plus the politics and ranting thereof.
And this is why we have the nanog offtopic list at nanog-offtopic@lists.blank.org
From a previous message In March 2003:
This seems like an apropos point to remind people of the existance of nanog-offtopic@lists.blank.org. All of the friendly bickering with the people you know and love and/or loathe; 100% less of the annoying-of-Susan and people-looking-for-operational-content.
To subscribe, drop a line to nanog-offtopic-subscribe@lists.blank.org.
