What sounds like "fruitless bitching" to you will serve as useful
information for other people out there, who are in the process of
selecting service providers.
This is a *open* forum that people bring realities like these publicly.
You are entitled to speak for yourself, and if it sounds like what you
inferred, you are subscribing to the wrong list. Just do a
"unsubscribe". One of the intent of this open list is to make aware of
realities of ISPs around, beyond the glare of the press and marketing.
And using words like "fruitless bitching" does not make your opinion
more potent to anyone, unless they hold a lot of Exodus stock (: Do
you?. Try to refrain from unnecessary language.

Gee... I didn't know nanog was used for this. Maybe all those years going to
Nanog, working with people on real networks, etc, I missed that part.

What realities? Aren't you pushing press information?
Should we start bringing to light every little thing that goes wrong on the
net?

I sure wish I held a lot of Exodus stock... I bet you do too...
Take it easy

And since this is such an ontopic post... why dont you ask Susan to give a
talk on why you think Exodus is bad.

I didn't detect much operational content in that little report.

I thought the list was North American Network Operators Group List, not
"lets post news stories about colo providers list." I'll unsubscribe from
that in a heartbeat. I'm here to discuss operational issues facing
promising local ISP's, not some press reports about the perception that a
particular news reporter has that some companies may be leaving their
providers. This is not operational in any sense of the word.

Try to refrain from posting complete offtopic garbage maybe?

No. The only way to offer a even remotly reliable view on whether or
not an ISP is good/bad is to see the good AND the bad. I think I can
speak for the majority of the list when I say that making nanog into a
public bitch forum is the last thing we want. Take your gripes elsewhere.

Have you even taken the time to read the charter/aup for nanog? The first
rule in the aup states that:
Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical
issues as described in the charter of NANOG.
As much as I like a good *fruitless bitching* (tm) - this really belongs
on inet-access kids... and Rav - go get your asbestos poket protector -
youwill prolly need it...
We went through this last year, about finger pointing and
being competitive here to harm other peoples interest, and
by consensus we moved away from this practice, lets stick
to that it has worked well.
