 a mailing list or perhaps even comp.dcom.lans or something like that.

Believe it or not, it's back in print.

I've never met Pad in person, but if you've read his papers and
Elements of Networking Style, it'll come as no surprise that a close
friend of mine who worked with him at MITRE describes him as a
fascinating character.  ;)

One of my favorites from years back though not BGP-related, probably
out of date and out of print, a very good read none the less:
  A Guide to Fractional T1
  James E. Trulove, 1992
  Artech House, ISBN 0-89006-524-1
