Todd,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don’t think this is a reasonable understanding of Nanog. Nanog members ask each other for operational tool recommendations all the time, and since these products are right up the alley of Nanog’s mission — network operations — it’s a perfectly reasonable
use of Nanog.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But you read a single comment without researching any Nanog history, which would immediately show you how frequently Nanog serves in just this kind of valuable role, THAT’S unkind.<br>

<div dir="ltr">i don't think that this is a reasonable use of nanog. if you have research to present and then a question to ask, that's totally great. this is especially true if you can add evaluative criteria and information before asking questions from
people who have relevant experience.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>you read a single web page and are asking nanog to do your homework for you. that's unkind and is taking advantage of the attention and goodwill of the community here. this is becoming a pattern. please either do some research yourself and start a conversation
substantively, or look to paid consultants to evaluate your software/hardware/datacenter space/networking gear etc.</div>
