Something else that needs to be considered is blowing up the list (making smaller, distributed lists). It takes hours sometimes for mail to go through the distribution. Sometimes, I'll post, and I'll get four, five, six replies before I see my post to the list bounce back this way. It takes hours. :-( Too long for a list where sometimes time-critical information is discussed. </imho> Tim Ramsey wrote:

Perhaps it is time to moderate nanog. Send postings to a team of moderators to screen for content before being approved for the list. How strictly the screening would be applied and who would moderate would be up to the list.
I can host such a list on K-State's Listserv server. Listserv has all the tools needed to make this work.
Is there any interest in this?
