Hmmm ... I suppose I would prefer this community not be made an explicit source of information for a reporter.

You're about 10 years too late. Reporters have been lurking on the NANOG list for at least that long. Only the newbie reporters post info requests to the lists. The pros send private emails to list members or go to a NANOG meeting and prowl the hallways. Or did you somehow think that the Internet was a secret network for the members of some private club? --Michael Dillon
