[Re: Semi-OT: solicitations to nanog]

i seem to remember other similar 'solicitations' by nanog members
seeking to join up with fellow networkers in their local community, 
at the next arin/nanog/sushi/etc meeting...i don't think that this
is really that much different.  granted, i don't know how 'tasteful'
it was, but i am sure that jeff has been sufficiently spammed^W 
informed about the situation.  (maybe he was trying to pull some of
the noise from the list to a social organization, thereby increasing
the signal level for us to discuss more valid things like the 
comparing pe^H^Hego^H^H^Hrouter size)

now is shall step back to let the next nanoger forth to desperately
flail the pulpy carcass or this thing that used to be a fine equine
