It's in-scope for nanog to the extent that published results and
host-mod procedures are something we may want to pass on to publishers,
but probably some of the TCP/IP newsgroups would be a better place
than nanog.  Perhaps inet-access?  Inet-access at least has so much
random garbage flowing by that people are used to responding only
to what they are interested in.

Nanog usually (at least, in my case it does) goes right into my main
mailbox; inet-access is a "when I have time" kind of thing.
