I've done two things in this reply that, if done by all who reply to a DNS-related thread, would save NANOG from being spammed by Fleming and his followers. (Note that Fleming posts his irrelevant drivel to NANOG since he *knows* that everybody on NEWDOM has already heard it.) 1. I added a "Reply-to: newdom@ar.com", which Fleming's folks will remove since they DESPERATELY NEED to have their words visible to the NANOG audience, even knowing full well that NANOG does not want to hear their floof.
Hmm... Sounds like you are asking us to possibly honor someone's desire that no-one should see our replies to their statements about us. If I was to post a message saying that Bind has an "undocumented feature" in it such that if it receives a request for www.mickeyDs.com that all the traffic lights in the country turn green at once and that Paul Vixie purposely did this, you would honor my Reply-to: basketweavers-l@bellview.com ? I think not... :-)
2. I removed all individuals from the To: and Cc: headers, leaving only the mailing lists. This keeps people from getting two copies of the reply, since they are clearly ON the mailing list.
I have always done this (unless I messed up :-), and find those who don't as annoying as you do... I will promise to never start (and have never have started) a thread about uDNS on nanog . Take care, Ron Kimball for uDNS
