I've decided to take Randy's (and a few others) advice and, instead of "polluting" the list with tech news snippets, post them to a blog. So in my spare time, I'll post stuff there instead of to the list... pointer in my .sig below. Can I get a Hallelujah?! :-) - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

and, instead of "polluting" the list with tech news snippets, post them to a blog. ... Can I get a Hallelujah?! :-)
not from me. makes as much sense as turning nanog into a web-access only mail sink. i liked your news items. and sean's. i wouldn't have known to go look at the iraqi network operator/nic situation if "news" about the hack on aljazeera/akamai-reneg and so on weren't on-list. the sacred cow of the moment is the one with domain names splattered untidily all over the pasture. next week or month or year it could be something else. jamacia w/o reachable nameservers, or a trunk-cut way outside of north america by some barge dragging anchor.

I have to agree... Paul's been doing an excellent job of picking out the one or two things that really matter each day, and I've found it quite valuable. I think that unlike much of the administrivial chatter on the list lately, and the usual kids-ranting-at-each-other, this has been improving the signal-to-noise ratio quite a bit. -Bill

the
one or two things that really matter each day,
Several other NANOG-affiliated projects post regular reports to the list. CIDR report, weekly routing table report, Bogon project... I think it would be great if Paul posted a regular headlines update from his blog, either daily, or whenever some reasonable number of articles has accumulated, say half a dozen. His service is a real value-add and it is a good idea to incorporate some more of the latest Internet communication tools into NANOG. --Michael Dillon

I agree. I like mail lists because they are self-editing. S/N on any mail list is much better than the S/N in all of blogspace. Mail lists are also a push, instead of a pull. I always go through my email since there may be something useful, interesting or important. I have to go read blogs (or RSS feeds), and that's something that usually gets put in the low priority queue. So, Paul, please keep posting your tidbits. --Chris

Eventually it'd be great to incorporate this into the SlashNOG server Merit's in the process of developing (actually the developer is Manish Karir of our R&D staff.) Stay tuned ...
