CC back to the mailing list for visibility, since I ate the CC list.

Please refer to the usage guidelines found here. https://nanog.org/resources/usage-guidelines/

14. Posts that encourage or facilitate an agreement about the following subjects are inappropriate: prices, discounts, or terms or conditions of sale; salaries; benefits, profits, profit margins, or cost data; market shares, sales territories, or markets; allocation of customers or territories; or selection, rejection, or termination of customers or suppliers.

 I would tend to agree that while most of your posts to the list are within the guidelines, there have been occasions where a reasonable person could think you might be skirting the line a bit. In this case :

- Your company works as a broker to procure capacity for others. 
- You sent an email to the list that wording wise would be exactly the same as many of us might send to someone they were looking for capacity from. 

I think most would agree this is pretty clearly against both the usage guidelines and the spirit of what this mailing list is about. 

I would also like to remind you that this list is administered by the NANOG organization. You have no authority to tell others to 'cease and desist', and insult someone as 'underemployed' is also not well tolerated here. 

I have looped in the list admins here. It would probably be a good idea to refrain from future messages that are clearly commercial in nature, or that contain unnecessary insults.

Actually, that language was intended to prohibit soliciting business and not asking for help. I have some hard words to describe like Shane Ronan, but I will forbear.

I suggest you cease and desist before this gets ugly. Obviously you are underemployed.

Get some work to do.

Best,

Please review the Mailing List policies which specifically prohibit commercial discussions on the list. I would ask the list moderators to chime in here please
