Ok I'll admit I've been reading less and less of this godforsaken list 
with each passing day, but at what point did we change the name to North 
American Network Tech Support Operators Group? Was the memo distributed 
via HTML e-mail only or something? Maybe it was redacted from the archives 
so I didn't see it...

Seriously Gadi, what *possible* relevence could this have to network
