Darn well said (the whole post). Some of us *used* the available  
infrastructure almost to a fault about 15+ years ago (the early days  
of Sprint, MCI, ANSNet, etc) but it has slowly gone down hill since.  
It takes work to keep it all up to date but it appears that it would  
save a lot of pain (and very long threads on nanog) if we did.

I've never been able to figure out the incentive program to use it  
though. "Stopping the pain" doesn't seem to do it :) (I know, I know,  
it's all about the money).
