Will the list moderators please declare this topic closed? Two days
ago, someone asked me "is this NANOG or Slashdot?" -- and it hasn't
gotten any better.
I don't think anyone is learning anything new at this point.
If the moderators don't say something, could everyone else please
refrain from posting?

On the contrary, I think that the number of people posting
with misconceptions demonstrates that many people *ARE*
learning something new at this point. Especially since
people who do have clue have stepped forth to try and clear
up these misconceptions.
This is really the only way to pass on knowledge to the next
generation given that Internet routing/peering is an arcane
subject which is not taught in universities. Hopefully people
realize that the mailing list only contains the freshman class
and they need to attend a few NANOG conferences to progress
further.
