There used to be Usenet, but then the spammers found it. Remember that Nanog probably has *significant* market penetration - I'll hazard a guess that at least 40-50% of the service providers in the US have at least one person lurking here. Now consider the number of consumers of network services in the US, and estimate what a 1% market penetration would be. Ask yourself: How do I keep spammers out of a group that size? And if I don't reach that size, what good am I really doing?
