RE: Watch your replies (was Kremen....)
Perhaps the list should be turned into a wiki; I might just to watch the hilarity. Is there any real interest in this? Do we want another wiki to compete with http://nanog.cluepon.net ? Mediawiki is a good idea, but proliferation is not so good. Also, if you want to contribute, why not write up a page or two for the existing wiki? --Michael Dillon

Perhaps the list should be turned into a wiki; and no, while I'd like to, I'm not at this time volunteering to admin ;) Frank A.

The other 18 lines may not have been important to this particular response but they were not content free. If your content was in any way, interesting, then people will have read it in the message that you posted. I see no need to repeat a bunch of irrelevant text when I am only replying to one point in your email. Personally, I wish more people would trim away all the irrelevant junk when replying. On the other hand, in the corporate world I find that the habit of top posting is very useful to me. I often see things that were never intended to be sent to me and I often discover that the previous replies in a thread betray the fact that the writer did not read or did not understand the original message. But on a mailing list, trimmed replies are superior. --Michael Dillon P.S. are the standards of this list so unclear that Darcy and I have to discuss this? Who is right?

I'm not singling any one person out, but when a thread that started off talking about RIR policy issues and IP address portability debate gets this far off track, then it's time for that thread to die or be taken out-of-band. Agreed? jms
