<br>> In saying that, I've got a question to ask, Is this list not about

<br>> just a bitch mailing list? Because I'm slightly confused,
<br>
<br>Here is the charter for the list:
<br>
<br>http://www.ausnog.net/mailing_list/charter
<br>
<br>The first paragraph outlines the scope of the list:
<br>
<br>"The AusNOG mailing list has been established to provide a forum for
<br>the exchange of technical information, the discussion of specific
<br>implementation issues that require cooperation among internet
<br>infrastructure related service providers (eg ISP/ASP/DC etc), the
<br>discussion of technically focused operational issues, and the discussion
<br>of technical issues relating to provision of internet services and the
<br>various infrastructure related services in the telecommunications
<br>industry."
<br>
<br>IMO there's a balance that needs to be struck between an individual
<br>operator requiring assistance for their own network implementation, and
<br>an individual operator contributing to the group discussion.
<br>
<br>Eg, a "Please help me with my specific BGP community implementation" is
<br>on the former side, while a "What's best practice for BGP communities in
<br>Australia" generates discussion on the latter side.
<br>
<br>Everyone is going to have their own thresholds on what ratio of each is
<br>appropriate.
<br>
<br>Personally, I think that if more than half of an operator's inquiries
<br>are about their own implementation, rather than of a discussion of
<br>general benefit / interest to the community as a whole, then that
<br>operator is taking from the community, rather than giving to it.
<br>
<br>Obviously opinions on this will vary.
<br>
<br>prk.
