I think moderating the group might not be such a bad idea. The only problem with this would be getting someone who had enough time to actually moderate the list. I don't know what is going on lately, but it seems egos and animosity are running rampant on both inet-access and nanog. I have been caught up in it myself, and for that I apologize.
i didn't, and don't, propose a moderated list. i propose a list with some sort of subscription requirement, at least for the ability post, that will only allow nano's to post. i also propose that the list be stringently policed. one warning re: content of your postings, then your ability to post is revoked.
i'd like to see a list that lives up to the intent of the nanog list, but w/o all the useless drivel and chatter. if i wanted that, i'd still be subscribed to inet-access.
Not exactly what you're looking for, as both are discussion-oriented and don't seem to get much traffic related to network operations, but judging by your reply address you might or might not be interested in the following lists: *** ISP-CEO@ISP-CEO.com is a Email discussion list dedicated to Internet Service Provider Chief Executive Officers only. If you have been subscribed to this list, it is because you are one of the following: CEO, President, Equity Owner, Partner, Director, Investor with your ISP. join-isp-ceo@isp-ceo.com *** Welcome to GreenNet's ISP CEO discussion list! The purpose of this list is to provide bona fide ISP senior executives (only verified CEOs & COOs) with an electronic means of talking about their business, their concerns, their anxieties and their hopes. This list is not open to non-executive owners, investors, journalists, researchers, ISP employees or ISP-CEO wannabes. Only those individuals that are personally known to the list owner and qualify, or those that have their credentials personally verified by the list owner are permitted to join and post. Enjoy. You may send comments and suggestions to the List Owner at owner-isp-ceo@greennet.net *** Not sure it makes that big a difference in the quality of the posts, but the volume is reasonable. The first less is looser about enforcing the membership requirements, which is why the second list got started. Both are good, but I still get more useful info from the nanog and inet-access lists when I have time to sort through them. -- Robert Szarka Managing Partner, Operations DownCity, LLC +1 860 823 3000
