The GNU Mailman software, which I believe is running the NANOG lists, has the capability of allowing each subscriber to subscribe only to topics which they are interested in. This is done by setting regular expressions to tag a message with a topic, I believe this mechanism is being exploited by the MLC right now. If the list management would begin using this feature for all subscribers, then we could have a list where there was a routingonly topic, a probablyok topic and an offtopic topic. People who are really busy could subscribe only to routingonly, those who don't mind variety could also subscribe to probablyok, and only those with time on their hands would subscribe to offtopic. All of this could be done while maintaining one single NANOG list for marketing and posting purposes. Note that RSS feeds could be set up in a similar fashion to pick up specific topics. Some other useful topics might be contactrequest, securityexploits, dnsrelated, and so on. --Michael Dillon _______________________________________________ Nanog-futures mailing list Nanog-futures@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
