Gadi,

4 days and 56 messages later... no pieces of the sky have hit me on the head yet. Trolling NANOG-L is as productive as ever. How long until you troll us again? Will it be another "INTERNET EMERGENCY!!!!" or just a provocative statement that starts a 50-message OT argument about botnets? NANOG-L would be more useful to those of use who actually operate networks if you would stop it.

systems which are being compromised and turned into bots, and the domain
names hosting it are a significant part of the reason why this attack has
not yet been mitigated.
