I can't believe all the hate-mail I just got for this. I must have hit a real nerve. It was a sarcastic comment, folks in EDU are seriously humor impaired. Doesn't anyone know what <grin>s are anymore? What I meant was that blocking entire RIR block is the same as blocking entire TLDs, equally counter-productive. It may be effective, but it is also tossing out babies with the bathwater. Cutting your Internet feed is equally effective. I don't think that anyone here will do that in the near-future. Even blocking large SLDs is questionable.

After all, neither students or teachers, in the US, have money to buy things with and CS students are the worst kind of script-kiddee. <grin> [students are always broke and teachers are chronically under-paid]-----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu[mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu]On Behalf OfAdam Rothschild Sent: Friday, April 28, 2000 9:23 AM To: nanog () merit edu Subject: Re: ICQ & AOL On Fri, Apr 28, 2000 at 11:06:13AM -0400, Omachonu Ogali wrote:So pretty much, you wish to create many different Internet'islands' byisolating networks that are assigned address space fromAPNIC and RIPE?
