Please provide some evidence of your assertion. I have seen no evidence that the very folks who work so hard to run the Internet are making any speculations at all about the DHS.
Scroll backwards through the emails to the first one in this modified thread (RE: IP Block 99/8 (DHS insanity - offtopic)) and read the first few comments that came in.
Did that. The first three are from J. Oquendo, Valdis Kletnieks and Kradorex Xeron. Of these three, Valdis has some sort of netops responsibility at Virginia Tech, and the other two are aliases for unknown individuals. J. Oquendo seems to be "joking" in Spanish and the other seems to be a garbled version of "dark stranger". Are you seriously asserting that these are "THE FOLKS" who work so hard to run the Internet? I know of thousands of people who would strongly disagree with you on that account. --Michael Dillon P.S. NANOG is just a mailing list and the people who are on it are just people having a chat.
