Why do we even have this pissing match going on in NANOG? Take it off line.

I didn't draw that conclusion at all.  Much the opposite, judging from their
photo gallery, they seem like a bunch of script kiddies trying to make a
name for themselves in the "open source community", while bumming around for
jobs, and doing hosting on their Ameritech DSL in blatant violation of their
AUP (any guys from SBC on this list?).  I wouldn't take them seriously.

Have a listen to http://www.poptix.net/trelane.mp3 for proof of their
maturity.

Calling someone and telling them to "get a life", in response to a NANOG
post, is like a  parapalegic telling me I walk funny.
