Remember not everyone who is on this list is a network operator and sometimes their misguided statements make it here. Do not get me wrong I wish wikileaks would disappear, but there are better ways to do this than interfering with other peoples networks. I would hope the moderators are willing to take the correction action when addressing such matters. Sent from my iPhone On Nov 28, 2010, at 6:11 PM, "Patrick W. Gilmore" <patrick@ianai.net> wrote:

Good riddance. The sooner someone gives Julian Assange 230gr of shut the f*** up, the better.
I find it distressing when Network Operators are willing to encourage DDoS'ing of a site. Any site. Especially on an operational list, where politics are specifically prohibited.
You don't like Wikileaks, that's between you & Julian. A DDoS affects the infrastructure of multiple networks, users, other websites, etc., etc. Most people who read the last sentence thought to themselves that is beyond obvious. It is a shame you do not understand it.
Put another way, perhaps you should take your own 230gr.
