[AusNOG] Enough. (was Re: Alumina vs AINS Update)

[Jason Sinclair]

I think this perhaps needs to be looked at in a different light. All
lists have posts that are/aren't relevant to some people at some stage.
Bit like reading the newspaper really. And while I acknowledge this is a
technical list there are so many more pearls and gems that have been
posted from time to time that its worth far outweighs its relevance. I
note that no one really objected to the posts re the NBN announcements
recently and it could be argued that they are not relevant in a
*technical* sense (although the relevance generally could not be
disputed). 

 

I also agree that the AusNOG Board should have discretion in determining
posts being relevant or breaching the charter, etc, however we also need
to keep in mind those guys also have *other* jobs and may not be able to
dedicate 100% of their time in doing this either.

 

I think Luke's on the right track, but even easier - if its not relevant
to you I guess just don't read it and ignore the thread. My 2
cents....... And yes this is an irrelevant post and no I won't be
offended if no one reads it! :-)

	Starting to agree with you Curt,  maybe it is time to revisit
the (I'm gunna piss ppl like Mark Newton off here hehehehe sorry Mark
:P)  but maybe we need to revisit the idea of that second "general"
ausnog list, where anything goes, and those who expect others to walk on
cotton wool, need not subscribe :D
	
	

 

 

SAGE-AU have split lists for "tech" and "general" and IMO it's awful.

 

You can't expect other people to judge what you find 'technical' or
'general' accurately.

 

Telling people to pipe down when they get too far off-track is
sufficient for my mind and much less likely to have odd cross-list posts
and such that will just have you subscribing to both lists in the end.

 

Maybe its time to invest in a better mail client and some sorting rules?
Black-hole the noisy participants you don't want to see, etc?
