They wouldn't have the guts to post under their real name, remember, IRC is for the gutless keyboard commandos...and for posting IRC logs on mailing lists, is it school holidays over there or something, must be.

Well .. one of the parties to that conversation seems to have posted about it to nanog, upthread, under his real name ..

<nenolod> are you there to punch Paul Vixie out?

srs

Furthermore I know who leaked the logs now. Annoying, that. He said he was "searching for the lolz." (Please note that I do not actually have anything against Paul Vixie, I was just busy dealing with trying to get this dynamic RDNS stuff with dhcp3+bind9 going, and it wasn't going so well at the time...)

What a stupid generalisation

How about moving the meta-nanog themes in this thread to nanog- futures, instead of adding to the noise on the main list? Joe (meta-meta-nanog theme, guilty as charged)

Because nobody reads it?

I've been called a lot of things, but I can't seem to remember being called "nobody" before. And there are lots of people who post there. While I agree it could be argued some have clearly not read the thread into which they are posting, some must be reading it, even if just by accident. -- TTFN, patrick

Try "because nobody knows that NANOG has a website where you can simple instructions to subscribe to Nanog-futures". For the record, there is a simple form to fill in on this page <http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures> which will add you to the "other" NANOG list. --Michael Dillon

Ah! You mentioned the Nazis. Now we know the thread is over. :)

We should mention Nazis more often to end threads here. Godwin's law to the rescue.

Deliberate invocation of Hitler does not invoke Godwin's law (courtesy Gym Quirk .. now that's a name from the past.. havent read usenet in about a decade. --srs http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/legends/godwin/

6. "Hitler!" Ha! The thread is over!

Nope, doesn't work that way. Not only is it wrong to say that a thread is over when Godwin's Law is invoked anyway (Usenet threads virtually always outlive their usefulness), but long ago a corollary to the Law was proposed and accepted by Taki "Quirk" Kogama (quirk@swcp.com):

Quirk's Exception: Intentional invocation of this so-called "Nazi Clause" is ineffectual.

Sorry, folks. Nice try, though.
