[AusNOG] [Press Release] Sanity brings Technology to the City with BlueFibre

[Matthew Byrne]

Hi all,

Whilst I appreciate and understand the few comments, remarks and concerns received, I've replied to each response individually, off-list.

Just for some clarification so we're all on the same page:


-          Whilst I initially hesitated to send this to the list, I emailed the content to AusNOG for approval/rejection which was approved.

-          It was never my intention to "spam" the list and I apologise in advance if the email offended anyone in anyway.

-          It was suggested that we supply a link in the email rather than attaching the PDF or placing the entire PR into a single email - the end result clearly didn't work either.

I'd like to recommend that all further comments, remarks and concerns regarding this please be emailed directly to me, off-list.

Many thanks.

Regards,
Matthew

Matthew,

Please take some time to consider the list charter, which includes the statement:



"This is NOT a forum for journalists to pick up leads, sales people to sell things, or end-users to pester their ISP".

AusNOG is a valuable tool for network professionals like myself and others to discuss technical problems and non-technical problems that can impact the various industries that we all work in.

I can certainly appreciate the eagerness to announce your brand and positive news about it. But if an early resistance to this kind of blatant self-promotion isn't found, then we risk having the list we all love so much slowly turn into yet another marketing communications platform. So I ask, respectfully (as a list member, not a moderator), that you refrain from making these sorts of announcements on list.

Mike

P.S. I am fully aware of the irony of broadcasting an unsolicited opinion in objection to an unsolicited opinion. Perhaps I'm just as guilty :)
