Jeremy, Not to put too fine a point on it, but the nanog archives weren't really a solution for me because I needed quotes from people on the ATM issue, quotes that I could use in my story. Would you have preferred if I had cribbed someone's old nanog post without their permission, which is what I would have needed to do given the reality of news deadlines? I don't think so. I also was seeking reaction to Mr. Feldman's comment, which the archives would obviously not offer. Unlike many of my colleagues in the computer trade press, I am rabid about sourcing and accuracy. Thankfully, a number of people on the nanog list were very helpful in this regard.
