Can we keep politics and personal opinions separate and independent of the 
technical aspects of the issue at hand (if there are any)? Per the NANOG list 
info page:

"Appropriate topics include: routing; broad-based engineering 
problems/issues/solutions; outages; performance measurement; evolving wide-area 
technologies; exchange points; traffic engineering; operational experience; ISP 
security; and trouble ticket systems."

Is there an actual legit technical issue here that needs discussion or solving?
