I applaud this change. If I still traveled, I'd show up to the next
NANOG, and buy the committee a beer. Instead, I send them my thanks.
I run a couple of mailing lists, and every once in a while, someone will
subscribe and set off my cynicism meter. I hit the moderate button on
the new account, and sad to say, I've only been wrong to do so once, out
of the last ten times I did it.
Thanks again.

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
