No.  The NANOG list was designed to discuss OPERATIONAL issues.  That
means current operational problems, not politics or mutiny discussions.

It's not a list to report problems.  People should report their problems
to their upstream.  If you don't have an upstream, find one of your
engineers.  If you are an engineer, then consider your post for
operational content before sending it out.

Works quite well, actually.
