They're almost always short, and have Subject: lines that indicate what they're about, so it's easy to skip over them based on the Subject: line, and Gmail thinks I have 6.5GB of remaining quota space so it's not even worth the effort of deleting them. Sometimes they're even about issues like getting through the AOL email-rejection loop that are useful to multiple people. It's operational and de minimus.
Its operational and de minimus and sometimes the most simple way to arrange something... e.g. a mail filter/blackhole and no obvious contact phone number (e.g. the remote website is affected by the blackhole, etc).
This is not a suggestion that NANOG should be carte-blanche a paging service, but in the few cases it appears, it doesn't seem to be clue-deprived requests that often.
Hi Deepak, Agreed, and both that are described contain content, or at least that's the way I'm reading your reply. We are specifically pointing out the paging messages that contain nothing but an empty request for "someone from xyz to contact $foo" for an unknown reason. I think it's fair for us to ask for some content if we're going to see these requests forwarded to ~9k users. Best Regards, Martin Hannigan NANOG MLC Member
