Hi Folks,
I think this is a good time for me to pitch in my 2c (in agreement with
Russell) to mention that I think the rules for a mailing list should evolve
as per what the participants on the list want, and indeed what is commonly
happening on the list. I don't think there has been much movement in the
official 'rules' for nznog recently as for the most part we're a pretty
self-regulating lot.
Most recently I find there are a lot of people posting 'me too', 'this isn't
appropriate!' and 'this should stop' type posts. This sort of stuff should
really get taken off list and sent directly to whoever is the percieved
culprit and/or one of the list moderators, and indeed this is noted in the
rules already. From looking at the above few posts, and the lack of
complaints to any prior job postings, I think it's fair to say that not many
people have a problem with job listings here. So long as it's all civil,
does there really need to be an official amendment to the rules, if it's not
causing a problem?
Moaning about what is and isn't appropriate really just drives up the noise
level on the list making it less useful to everyone. Instead, maybe you
should start posting something constructive about what you believe to be the
barriers to IPV6 adoption in NZ, or what neat network monitoring software
you've just written and are providing to the world for free.
So, to get this list back on track, I'd love to come back to NZ in December
and see some really nice unbundled ADSL2+ services with REAL IPv6
connectivity, but I think at the moment the problem with that is the
consumer grade CPE equipment just won't handle it. Maybe the ISPs who are
buying bulk CPE stock should really be demanding better IPv6 support.
Mucking around with obscure telnet commands just to get your IPv6 tunnel
working isn't the way to get IPv6 adopted quicker.
As far as actual useful contributions, I've updated my data at
http://jedi.school.nz/nzdg.html with the most recent data supplied by the
DNC. And yes, I fixed those awful colours on the graphs :)
Cheers,
Blair
