Nanog Politics [was: Re: Eisenach & the FCC - was: [Re: Here we go again.]]

Mon Nov 14 15:12:34 UTC 2016

Whether it's politics, non-politics, related, offtopic, whatever. It has
been discussed in here for lengths and overlengths. This one is no
different. And hey, rules exist to be bend >:-)

Second, the content of the topic will affect ALL of us, whether you are an
ISP, simple admin/tech or anyone else watching and participating on this
list as it discusses changes that are to be expected getting a new
president with his new associates who probably only looks at the cashflow
without having any clue about the technical difficulties and problems they
will cause.

In all the time I am monitoring nanog know, there is one thing I learned:
If you don't like it, simply move it to /dev/null and ignore the contents.
