May I add that a lot of NANOG people actually use IRC for many reasons. You would be suprised to learn how many of the people posting to NANOG chat on a daily basis in a certain #nanog channel. Would you be pissed to know that I'm an IRCer and I also own NANOG.NET ? ohh and also, #nanog has members of "tier-1" peers on there. He's just asking a simple question and I think it would be interesting to know his answer. If our countries (I'm canadian) are so free, I should and we should all be allowed to say whatever we want, whenever we want which includes that blaxthos guy. the nanog-l is not WILLIAM LEIBZON's personnal hatered list. If he wants people to read on his stuff, he can just start his own list. -chris On Wed, 10 Dec 2003 trelane@2mbit.com wrote:
bash.org... bash.org... now where have I seen that... AAH YES! So then a group dedicated solely to efforts at documenting trolling on IRC should be given credibility as to what is/isn't said on NANOG? Yes there are members of ICANN, ARIN, and most "tier-1" peers on here. You might even see bash.org stick it's neck out and get it chopped off from time to time. And now back to things that are less fattening on my killfile.

hello,
i've been reading nanog-l/inet-access for many many years (just a shadow, i don't post).
i am just curious... do you have any authority/commission from arin (or anyone else)? or is yours a rogue vigilante mission? does anyone ask you to undertake the battles you feel justified in engaging in?
this is certainly not flame bait, but it is an honest question. you're very self-righteous, and although you may have valid points (i withold judgement) i really want to know what gives you the right/authority to say the things you say about others.

In the north-american country I happen to live in, you do not need 'authority' to express your opinions. If your country is different, I offer my condolences.
