[AusNOG] VyOS Bug - Removing prefix-list rule

[Julian De Marchi]

TL;DR it's not about skill or n00bs, it's about list etiquette and DW 
shows none

You're missing the point mate. Help is fine when you have tried other 
avenues to get "such" help.

When you email a list with question "foo" and no indication you have 
tried the dedicated forums, irc rooms, search engines etc, you'll get 
people calling it out.

Read DWs posts and see. It's lets go straight to ausnog from the looks 
of it. This is un-professional as it shows you have no ambition to try 
and solve the issue yourself. For someone regularly asking for work on 
ausnog, this is a bad look. I wouldn't hire someone like this at all and 
to make it worse the problem solving skills(lack of) are on a public 
list where many managers who do the hiring lurk.

So if you are going to ask questions on a public mailing list, make it 
darn clear you have exhausted other avenues before you asked.
