1999 called, they want their search engine technology back. :-)

I'm sorry, the notion that you can hide your identity from a journo by 
removing your sigblock is hilarious.  They are trained to find stuff out,
y'know.

Anyway -- The human relationship side of AusNOG is one of the things that
makes it valuable.  If I didn't know which ISPs participants worked for, I'd
have a harder time working out who was credible and who was full of crap 
:)
