I think the list is fine as it is. It was a small outburst, it was delt with, move on.
NZNOG is so low volume now that it's a moot point.
I don't like the idea of closed lists. I'd rather help the youth of today to feel included rather than make them feel alienated.
I agree with Dean, let's not get carried away over one incident. If this sort of thing becomes a regular problem then we deal with it by changing procedures but don't let one incident stampede us. Personally I'd be happy to have the culprits back on the list (after a suitable cooling off period) on the understanding that if they put a toe out of line in future then they are out for good. That's generally the line I take with infractions on our network. The issue of restricting the list membership is tricky -- what about people like Nevil Brownlee and myself, neither of us are directly involved in network operations anymore. -- Russell Fulton <r.fulton(a)auckland.ac.nz> The University of Auckland
