Indeed. In days of "yore", when people developed at least marginally
non-obvious operational techniques, people sent email to nanog about it,
explaining the technique and their experience (hence the NOG bit);
the reception wasn't always positive, but at least the criticism was
technical. I wonder what the driving factor was for the change.
