The point I was trying to make - and which I'm sure that you understood, but simply chose to ignore - is that it's not a Bad Thing to be somewhat U.S.-centric when discussing technical issues on the North American Network Operator's Group list.
*Technical issues*. I could care less about your juvenile political beliefs, nor, I suspect, do the vast majority of subscribers to this list. It's sad that you've so much trouble distinguishing between the two.
Your personal animus and general obnoxiousness are surprising, given your c.v. and and the position of responsibility you hold within Verio. It will be interesting to learn how their P.R. department respond to questions concerning your penchant for injecting political commentary into an unmistakably -technical- forum, all the while in your official guise as an officer of said company.
Since Verio is being purchased by NTT, I suspect that upper management really cares about international issues, and welcomes senior folks who understand that the net is not just North American... --Steve Bellovin
We all know it's not just North American - my point is that Mr. Bush's political commentary is unecessary and inappropriate for this list. I just preordered your Second Edition from Amazon the other day, btw - I just hope they're still around to ship me my copy in February! It's good to see such a seminal reference reissued with updates. "Steven M. Bellovin" wrote:

And on that note: who else has seen his webmaster@ accounts spammed this week by the registrar of the .hm TLD, hoping to whip up some business, and instead getting a total block on all incoming and outgoing mail from/to *.hm into all machines under my control ? Spamming top-level-domain registrars. hhhhhhm. *breeeeethe* *salivate* Reminds me of Nadwurk Though Losers ! Boycott is the word.
