Before we had a nanog-attendees list, the nanog list would be bombarded 
with posts that were of no interest to people who weren't actually at 
the conference, such as issues with the conference wifi, issues with 
schedule conflicts, chatter about outside events in the host city, etc.  
It makes perfect sense to have a nanog-attendees list to keep those 
discussions off the main nanog list.

I believe you can join the nanog attendees list without actually 
attending a nanog conference, if you want to get everything-nanog in 
your inbox.
