Perhaps it's time to think about enhancements to the NANOG list...?

Three problems:
- Humans
- Arguing about the sub-categorization
- Staffing to police it
Thread or poster-based plonking is and always has been the winner,
with private, direct reporting to admins for egregious cases.
I've built quite a library of procmail filters directing problematic
posters and threads to null or review-when-needed bin. Automated
tagging could be helpful to facilitate such, but that mediation
would need some investment and maintenance.
Cheers,
Joe
