(all hype no bite... byte?) A lot of bite. Unfortunately. Every month on the third many still lose their files. What was interesting to nanog then was the IMMENSE global cooperation and coordination, encompassing too many and working, to mitigate it. Unless some us us, others here try and keep nanog in the loop. I know this interested many here, and nanog is the best way to reach them. Such occasional operational issues not interesting to you are interesting to us. These emails cause more disturbance. Is nanog to be BGP only? Please let me know and I won't email these here. Simple enough. If not, we all take note of what is interesting to us. Gadi. > > -Chris >
