Or why not just paste a REALLY large bogus config in there to max-out
the NVRAM chip? That's the one that's harder to move to a PC.
On the flash, moving to a PC is easier (at least if we're talking about
newer devices using PCMCIA!) 
I suppose that everyone's level of detail is somewhat equivalent to the
level of paranoia or level of desired protection along the way!

list, sorry for this but this is getting a little annoying. I've tried sending Randy email without luck.. think i'm black listed by his kit, so if someone would kindly forward this to him…
Randy,
I'm not trying to be difficult or annoy you. Please stop sending me this email which is considered spam by most. 30 messages of with the same unsolicited content is spam.
I understand you do not like a signature which 'seems' to contain legal jargon.
I understand you know everything about my environment and the policies of my company which I do not define.
I undertand you would like me to use gmail and violate my company policy.
I don't expect _anything_ from you, but i would appreciate it if you could take some of your apparent talent and put some logic into your proc mail recipe or whatever it is you use to to generate this message. avoid responding with this spam message every time i post to a list you happen to be on. The email was not directed to you directly. should take about someone with your skill set very little effort.
thank you.

Well, here it is. Perhaps you might consider getting a gmail or other account, and posting on NANOG from there. Either that, or filter Randy out. Personally, I find those silly disclaimers annoying, but am far too lazy to set up a script such as Randy has.
You don't want to be annoyed? Lose the disclaimer, use a different email address, or filter Randy out. This is NOT the first time you've complained about this (although we know, for sure, that Randy is going to send this off, automagically, to anyone that has the silly disclaimer thing going for them). Get over it. Please don't post on this again. Thanks in advance.

While I agree that the disclaimers are annoying, I also recognize that:
1. Many companies have policies that require them to append those disclaimers to every outgoing email message, and the people who post to NANOG often don't have any control over that policy. Debating on this list whether those policies are right or wrong really isn't constructive.
2. Some companies have very strict policies against unauthorized surfing
my bad list, i'll stay on topic in the future and ensure i keep personal messages out of here and your inbox.
bad bad greg… interesting how brain dead and un respectful i am till sufficiently caffeinated.

disclaimers used to be against nanog list policy. dunno about now.
but whomever does not have much sympathy from me.

Randy,
If you want to cite list policy, let's start by noting that it's a clear violation of the nanog list AUP to setup an autoresponder reply to list email[1], no matter if the autoresponder replies to the list or just to the poster. You must whitelist email from the list before applying an autoresponder. If you don't want to see the disclaimer-laden emails, then you can whitelist, then send posts with disclaimers (along with all other posts you don't care to read) to dev/null.
OTOH, there is nothing in the AUP about disclaimers. Disclaimers, top posting, excessive quoting, etc. are discouraged (considered poor netiquette) but not outright forbidden.

Either way, a 15-50 or more lines legal notification style appendix to
a mail in an informal operation's forum... ... seems at the very best...
to be of... bad taste... (to me). (Who's reading these? :))

I was fired from eBay several years ago for posting to NANOG trying to help others deal with the dDoS issues of those days, nothing said was fair for termination IMO. Using a personal account may be prudent. Now I hardly ever even post.
