AUP for NANOG?

Thu Apr 14 16:22:26 UTC 2005

I am new to this field and I joined here to learn more.
I certainly have heard my share of bashing from linux forums.

The more bashing I hear here the less I want to ask a question here.
I'm not stupid but I am worried that one question might spark a rash of flames back at me.

This is a newbies point of view.
