Can't say that I do. I've been on NANOG for about 17 years. I used to be <br class="">
subscribed to over 100 technical lists. Despite these two facts I have no <br class="">
idea what you mean by SCA in this context.<br class="">
<br class="">
I keep reading it as "Society for Creative Anachronism".<br class="">
<br class="">
Would anyone care to enlighten me about this SCA list? My Googlefu has <br class="">
failed me.<br class="">
