For me, outages are a useful topic of discussion. Since I'm not involved in the management of backbones or WAN's, some discussion threads related to that type of issue are not interesting to me. I do take interest in the discussion of routing protocols, since I find a lot of the routing discussions to be educational. But there are many others who disagree with me. > There seems to be some (randy?) that basically feel that if you can't > configure a router to do it it doesn't belong here...

Of course, then you hear complaints about people announcing routes they shouldn't be, etc, etc. Well, is there a mailing list for the discussion of the proper way to set up BGP? If not, it could be argued that some of the discussions you mention belong here. -- Steve Sobol [[email protected]] Part-time Support Droid [[email protected]] NACS Spaminator [[email protected]] Spotted on a bumper sticker: "Possum.
