I am not a network operative, yet I lurk here (with intent, since I v occasionally post). I have always considered that off-topic posts (like, I suppose, this one) come into the permissible area, as allowed for in the mention of beer in the AUP. I have always had an excellent range of helpful responses from NZNOG subscribers when I have posed policy related questions to this list even though they are unrelated to beer. I find being on this list extremely useful. At the same time, a point made in another post in the parent thread by Matt Camp about a non-operational companion list could be considered although I dont think the noise level is that serious.

Hrm... good point here. I know I don't have an official sig on this email address, so might have been placed in the 'not a network op' basket here... yet I am.

And I'm not - if anyone thinks that this makes me unsuitable for inclusion by the 'network operator elite' then let me know and I'll unsubscribe.
