Too many nogs- The RIPE NCC ran a Euro Operators forum that was probably the most useful.
in europe, same as in the US, there is a limited number of people who are at least peripherally interested in participating. not everyone is interested in everything - based on nanog experiences, there are rather large (proportionally) groups of people who are only interested in discussing spam, gmail invites or bad analogies for example. in our case, all of this is merged into one discussion stream. in europe, with ripe running several more specific lists, there isn't enough traffic for an "everything goes, including crap" forum. </imho> paul
