Ideally (if I have better luck) I would like to get
providers to direct outage notices to this list. All that
That's not going to happen. Providers don't want that stuff
public. Makes 'em look bad...

I thought about cutting and pasting verbatim the notification I got from
InterNAP, but then noticed the "The contents of this email message are
confidential and proprietary" blurb at the end, and thought better of it,
even though they weren't to blame...

That's another debate entirely. Last I checked, the mail I get in my inbox I consider mine and thus, I will do as I please with it. Including re-posting if I want. :>
Hmm.. I say forward it along!

Somebody actually reads those???
NOTICE: This communication may contain confidential and/or privileged
information. If you are not the intended recipient, or believe that you
have received this communication in error, you are obligated to kill
yourself and anyone else who may have read it. So there. My disclaimer
is scarier than yours. Nyaah. You started this silly nonsense. Knock
it off and I will too, ok? It's worthless from a legal standpoint, makes you look really clueless, and is a waste of CPU cycles. Nobody
reads it anyway. You're not actually reading this, are you? I didn't
think so.
While in general I agree with your point, this case may be different -- it
may be governed by the contract Rick has with InterNAP.

I generally don't pay too much attention... In this case, I hadn't even
seen one. But, for whatever reason, after the email was composed, I
suddenly thought maybe I should check. The last thing I wanted to be
responsible was somehow violating a contract or something. Who knows,
maybe it's in the blasted 9 billion page agreement that management types
sign when we get service from people.
In any case, InterNAP's was a far cry from the kind that you parody
below. It really only was that one sentence....
"The contents of this email message are confidential and proprietary."
Nevertheless, maybe I should post it anyhow. It's not like it shows them
in a bad light. On the contrary, they've been the most in-touch and
seemingly truthful amongst the providers we've had.
--Rick
It wouldn't be the first time INAP's e-mails have been posted. But
really it doesn't say anymore than what's already been said on this
list thus far. Fiber cut, some routing horkage on the West Coast with
gblx and maybe some other providers, people working on it, no ETR,
yadda, yadda, yadda.

I'm sure they love FCC for that

Actually, an InterNAP Support Engineer on this list just said it was fine
to quote the notification since it was a widescale issue. But, as Chip
says, it's kind of old news at this point. If people want to see it
though, I can post. (Actually, there were two.)
Thanks,
