<div dir="ltr">My opinion is that Ausnog is a community and far more than a tech/noc list. Some of us have been in the industry for 20+ years and known each other professionally and personally for a lot longer. This is where we meet and is as much a social connection as it is an operator list.<div><br></div><div>If there is ANY thread or topic you don't like or care about, just ignore the bloody thing. Given how many mailing lists most of us are on, I find it beyond belief that some of you whinge about off-topic content here because if you did it everywhere you would spend your entire life doing so... and don't you have better things to do?</div><div><br></div><div>We're a community for f*&k sake. Start acting like one. We help each other when things go wrong, and should be celebrating our wins and care about the industry as a whole, not small crap.</div><div><br></div><div>We don't all have to agree with everything, but if someone posts off-list, unless you are a moderator, shut up. If they see it as important, they should deal with it - also off-list - rather than trying to publicly shame people.</div><div><br></div><div>Grow up people. Respect each other, and also new members that come along that might not have the experience and wisdom of our years - or this list and community will die out under the weight of its own bullshit.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br>...Skeeve</div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><div><b style="font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri">Skeeve Stevens - Founder & The Architect</b><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px"> - eintellego Networks Pty Ltd</span></div><div><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri">Email: </span><a href="mailto:skeeve@eintellegonetworks.com" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px" target="_blank">skeeve@eintellegonetworks.com</a><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px"> ; Web: </span><a href="http://eintellegonetworks.com/" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px" target="_blank">eintellegonetworks.com</a></div><div><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri;font-size:13px;margin:0px">Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; S<a>kype: skeeve ; </a>LinkedIn: <a href="http://linkedin.com/in/skeeve" target="_blank">/in/skeeve</a> ; Expert360: <a href="https://expert360.com/profile/d54a9" target="_blank">Profile</a> ; Keybase: <a href="https://keybase.io/skeeve" target="_blank">https://keybase.io/skeeve</a></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
