I've replied personally to everyone who has flamed me about my response to Jason's request. Jason and I are personal friends, and have known each other for a while. My response to his original posting was never intended to be cc:'d to NANOG, and I make my sincere apoligy because it did. Those that have responded to me privately regarding my post, I have explained to, but neglected to send a formal post to the list assuming that everyone who cared about what I said on the list had already sent me mail. I hope this finally will end the string of mail, and clear up anyone who thinks negatively of Jason or me (me mostly ;).

I have no real idea why this is, but this industry seems to breed more than it's fair share of arrogant idiots. I saw, at least, one of the offensive responses to your request and I assume, having a naive inflated opinion of human nature, that this person has an esoteric sense of humour and wasn't meaning to be arrogant or offensive at all. Even this person, who obviously knows more about everything than everyone else, had to start somewhere and I hope he got a better welcome than you.

My apologies to the wide variety of people aparently offended by my request for subscription, and many thanks to the people who pointed me

towards the proper subscription channels.

I recall being told this list was private and required references, my mistake.
