Most of us are speaking as ourselves and not representing our employers, so there's really no reason to post from our work email address, or even discuss where we work. I myself can talk a lot more freely about general things from here then I ever could from my work account, without worry of repercussions because I was "representing" my company publically in a bad way. :) If you want to know who people are, just search for their name on the NANOG or RIPE registration sheets for recent meetings, that generally helps me some (although some people don't even put the company they work for in there). Also, sometimes I just traceroute the host they are posting from.. :) On Wed, Apr 04, 2001 at 07:43:37PM -0400, John Fraizer wrote:
