I'm about to be removed, forcibly, from nanog-post. Mostly, it's because I feel that the degree of stink raised by the admin team over my "send in the marines" post last week is completely out of the bounds of reason for a single, only arguably off-topic, posting which asked for, and received, no on-list replies. And, clearly, they *don't* think it's unreasonable. That's ok; I only operate very small networks, and no one's going to lose any sleep over not hearing what I have to say. And since, notwithstanding everyone's interest in *reading* best practices information on networking, none of the people who *have* it had anything to write about it on the Wikicty below (with a couple of notable exceptions), I'm probably taking that off in another direction as well. I wrote this mostly because it's a tradition. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
