Any particular reason you wouldn't send such a thing? It is interesting, operationally relevant, and timely. -- TTFN, patrick On Jun 06, 2014, at 18:48 , Richard Bennett <richard@bennett.com> wrote:

Dear NANOG,

I didn't send this. Sorry to disappoint the speculators.

I believe I listed 3. And there are multiple times I have posted similar items in the past. Just curious about the "speculators" thing. But I think we're off-topic, so apologies to the audience for extra email in their inboxes. I've sent reply-to to my personal address to avoid this blowing up (although I don't know if mailman will respect that). -- TTFN, patrick On Jun 06, 2014, at 20:03 , Richard Bennett <richard@bennett.com> wrote:

Is there any reason you would?

Richard: While you & I don't have the best relationship ever, I would not - and did not - do anything of the sort. I'm a little more, let's say, blunt about my displeasures. You don't have to believe me, but those are the facts. Also, just to be clear again, I have zero problem with pointing out the impersonation, I was questioning the "speculators" part. I.e. You implied you would not send that, and I wondered why you wouldn't. But since you think it is off-topic (and I did not), that's a perfectly valid reason not to send such posts. Thank you for clearing it up. -- TTFN, patrick On Jun 06, 2014, at 20:24 , Richard Bennett <richard@bennett.com> wrote:

I wanted the NANOG community to know that someone is impersonating me. I don't send off-topic links from dodgy blogs to email lists.

I now have a pretty good idea as to who the impersonator is; it seems that Gilmore has too much time on his hands.
