Archives are browsable by anybody. How do you expect to keep political types out of the discussion?

I couldn't agree more.

If I want to talk politics, I will go to other places. I use this mailing list to talk about things relevant to technology and operation of networks in North American and other places.

javier,

I concur. What we don’t need on Nanog is outside parties deciding to “reign in” our discussions on political grounds!

I agree 100%.

I know the emails on this list are public and that is fine.  What I don't appreciate is that now my email address is in some politico's address list because of someone's behavior.

There's a world of difference between "don't expect list posts to be
private to list members" and "don't forward the list to autoresponders."
The stupidity of the latter, if it can be tracked down to who did it,
should result in their removal from the list, at least until they explain
what caused them to do that and have undone it.
