Your To: list:

To: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu, Shon Elliott <shon@unwiredbb.com>, Adam Stasiniewicz <adam@adamstas.com>, Reed Loden <reed@reedloden.com>, Noel Butler <noel.butler@ausics.net>, jim deleskie <deleskie@gmail.com>, Matthew Dodd <mdodd@doddserver.com>, Benjamin Billon<bbillon-ml@splio.fr>, Bob Poortinga <bobp+nanog@webster.tsc.com>, Seth Mattinen <sethm@rollernet.us>, Rich Kulawiec <rsk@gsp.org>, "Tomas L.

And you *know* the cc: to nanog won't work. Sending mail to places you *know* don't want it is the trademark of a spammer. No wonder you whine so much about "it's not a DDoS/spam".

Now I am really confused. When I said "Reply to all" ("reply to list" didn't light, because it turns out the list name was not in the bunch any place, so I deleted all the CC:s and added a "To: ". My usual practice is to delete all the To:s and Cc:s, leaving only the CC: nanog@nanog.org which seems to work fine. It would be nice if people would just reply to the list and leave all the CC;s from prior list traffic off.

Congrats. Only one or two people manage to exceed my legendary patience and earn a personal entry in my procmailrc pointing to /dev/null. Have a nice day.

I'm surprised that I haven't been admonished--I have never been allowed to talk about operational stuff this long before. -- "Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have."
