Reading back to April 1997, I find a very interesting digression that delves deeply into water management solutions.
Ding Ding Ding. Give Allen the T-Shirt.
Absolutely hilarious.
I have long considered that thread to be the high water mark (excuse the pun) of the early days of NANOG, when layer 8 and layer 9 had no impact on "us" and we all had time to enjoy being network engineers. And when peering session with AS1 and AS701 and AS1239 could all be arranged, agreed to, and set up in between presentations. <sigh> Your t-shirt is on its way. For those who are interested in the resultant discussion about AFR, VFR, CFR and ATM: http://www.cctec.com/maillists/nanog/historical/9704/msg00048.html is the start of the thread(s).
