Sure, I can tell 'em that there's no problem with our network, and that our connectivity is fine... and leave them to figure out if there's a break someplace - and I do. But I think NANOG is certainly an appropriate forum for medium/large-scale outages - unless someone's created an outage list someplace. I will agree that it's not the place to bitch about a vendor not giving more specifics, dumping on vendors in any way, actually...
