I would have to agree with this...
When dealing with zone files, and their modifications, I have found 2day.com
(a direct competitor to our business) to be much swifter in response and
more co-operative than IHUG albeit they are also a direct competitor - but
at least in the time of internetworking we really need to be able to have a
bit of the "inter" part working to keep the whole "network" running...and
I've found 2day to be very helpful in that regard.
Dave.

Given the size of the New Zealand market and the fact that we manage more
zones than IHUG, not to mention our visibility in the market, I think this
is a little rich.

I am not people. I am not even a poor IHUG customer. I am a fellow ISP
expecting a little cooperation and respect. My motive was to get a mutual
customer back on the air.

He may well have, but I made myself very clear about who I was. There is a
world beyond IHUG. Suggest you lot open your eyes. Not everybody is the
enemy in your war.

Neither of these organisations (nor the administrator) is responsible
for its content.
NZNOG Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy
The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of
technical information and the discussion of implementation issues
that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers.
In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of
relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the
following guidelines.
1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical
issues.
2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is
appropriate.
3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate.
4. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged.
5. Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and
lack of respect for other participants are unacceptable.
6. Blatant product or service marketing is unacceptable.
7. Postings of a political, philosophical or legal nature are
discouraged.
8. Postings to the list should be in ASCII or MIME encoded as
text/plain. Attachments should not be sent to the list. To
present a document, a suitable URL may be referred to. For
documents of general interest, the use of proprietary file formats
is discouraged.
9. Breaches of list etiquette should be dealt with privately with the
offending list user, and should not result in complaints being
sent to the list.
