Gentlemen: I didn't start the thread everyone is complaining about. But, in absence of a formal announcement of what is and is not on-topic on this mailing list, _which I still haven't seen, after 4 explicit requests_, I completely agree: a solution needs to be found. The high-handedness with which the conversations have been handled of late is, however not conducive to finding a solution, and will ultimately cause those with valid topics to discus-- including the opertaional aspects of DNS spoofing, and how to avoid it... _and_ how to fix it, which is surely an operational topic, and is not a conversation with a short term focus by nature--to decide that the NANOG mailing list is a useless old-boy network, and replace it with something that suits the needs of those individuals. If you don't like the signal to noise ratio, by all means: DEFINE SIGNAL. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
