Tsk tsk Sean. If you start teaching people that carefully crafted veneers
of omniscience exist they might start seeing them everywhere they look! ;-)

Here's a fragment from a message Paul Ferguson posted back in late July:

   Yes, for Europe there's the RIPE-discuss list (for which I don't have
   an immediate reference) and for Asia, there's the apops list:

     Asia Pacific Ops <apops at apnic.net>

Alas, I too do not have an immediate refernce although I have seen this
list referenced before as the European analog of the NANOG list. Perhaps
one of you omniscient Europeans could set us straight as to whether such a
list does exist and if not, why not. After all, some of us North Americans
might be interested in poking our noses into your side of the pond once in
a while...
