[AusNOG] Moderated/Vetted AusNOG list to reduce the guff (was Re: Understanding lack of Aus connectivity to melbournefreeuniversity.org.)

[Gavin Tweedie]

This thread is now going nowhere good fast.. can we please let this be 
the end of this thread?

If you are itching to bang an email out this evening but are in need of 
some inspiration for what to send, perhaps think about if you'd like to 
present at AusNOG this year(*), or maybe there is a topic or presenter 
you'd really like us to chase down.

(* No we haven't issued a call for papers yet, but we're not going to 
complain about anyone who is a bit eager)
