It's not the responsibility or obligation of the Australian _Network_ Operators Group to facilitate mailing lists for _non-Network_ operators.

In fact, AusNOG has no obligations at all to do anything. That's what makes off-topic posts worse - you're wasting the time of a community where all time and other contributed resources are voluntary.

That's no excuse or justification to pollute *this* list with your _off-topic_ emails.

If SAGE-AU is unsatisfactory, find some where else that is (Whirlpool, Server Fault, Super User) etc.

Posting off-topic is as rude as urinating in the pool.

For help with a server mainboard I would expect a different list would be much more worthwhile. Especially when I suspect at least 50% of AusNOG members are networking hardware focused, not server hardware.

>Hi David,
>              To be fair, networking devices are starting to get IPMI built-in to them these days. Some examples are A10 Networks (whom I work for) and F5 so you may see more questions in future on operational questions based on IPMI.
