To echo what Betty said and address an unspoken concern: "market...@nanog.org" is the mailing list (and external interface?) for the folks who make sure that there are good cookies and other break goodies, beer-n-gear sponsors, meeting hosts, etc. It is most assuredly not a spamming list, which I suppose is probably what went through folks' minds when they got that email. I know that's what I would be wondering if I randomly got that kind of mail with no background info. If you've ever been unfortunate enough to manage Mailman, you're probably as astonished as I am that this sort of pilot error doesn't happen more often. :-)
Now that that's out of the way, if you think you might have something to contribute to the community (marketing or otherwise) they're always looking for volunteers... so maybe you *want* to be on that mailing list - the community will be grateful. -R (former Board, fomrer MLC) "Betty Burke <be...@nanog.org>" <be...@newnog.org> writes: > Everyone: > > This was truly just a honest mistake on my part.
