your complaint to me was not about topic, but rather about ad homina. to quote > And as you know, the NANOG AUP specifically discourages personal > attacks -- which that is. though you do go on to say > Please refrain from off topic posting on the NANOG Mailing List. which does subtly imply, but does not explicitly say, that you also thought my posting off topic. though my real issues revolve around transparency and process, i would note that o it is hard to see how calling joe nacchio a convicted felon is a personal attack; it is a matter of notorious fact o the topic of telstra management and its abuse of its monopoly position would seem to have been relevant to the discussion which had included many references to their abuse and the effect on bandwidth pricing in australia but i am certainly guilty of terseness and obscurity, as well as confusing two ex-cseo of qwest. my apologies. to try to be constructive, what i as a member might like to see in similar circumstances would be something on the order of this is not a formal warning, but, as an individual mlc member, i suspect that your message is personal attack and not on topic. could you please explain where i am perceiving incorrectly or please refrain from such postings? thanks. -- marty this would have been very clear as to the formality of the message, and have allowed discussion and explantation. randy
