Please be nice... (Was Re: Exodus?)

Not to mention even the Exodus post was relevant to some of us smaller

Agreed, but the question remains whether threads like the one I posted
(Exodus) or ones similar to that have a place on NANOG. After all that I'm
not so sure. Threads on NANOG usually deal with issues that affect *all*
providers globally, not just one. Randy summed it up nicely in three or
four bullet points last night, which I won't repeat here, but if you read
his email you'll get the point.

I went way out of my way last night to give Randy Bush and at least one
other person a hard time about this while all along they were right. For
this I would like to publicly apologize to them both, as well as anyone else
I may have tweaked. All you have to do is read the NANOG Charter & AUP
(which I did) and then lurk around here for awhile to see what *does* get
discussed here and you quickly (not quickly enough for me) come to the
conclusion that posts like the Exodus post do not really fit into this list
as well as they would in other places.

I'll have you know that I spent a good hour writing my argument to support
your position, and there you go taking all the steam out of it :wink: But it
got me reminiscing of the high school debate team days...
