This list serves a number of purposes and one of them is to answer
technical networking questions. But this list is also not the only
place that these types of questions are asked. For instance, LinkedIn
has a Q&A feature where people can ask and answer questions on a wide
range of topics. Just today I came across this BGP question:

I would never suggest that LinkedIn could replace the NANOG mailing
list, but it is an interesting complement to it. There is a NANOG
group here: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=40718 and
a number of people are using LinkedIn for professional purposes.
That would work if someone handled the join requests there. My request to
join that group after about 10 days is still "pending".
