But, if it's not viewed as political then... Your analogy is flawed, because the Internet is not a pipe system and ISP's are not your local water utility.And the internet is not a big truck!

I'd like to draw attention to nanog AUP, particularly #6: Postings of political, philosophical, and legal nature are prohibited. While the "regulation of internet by filtering bad traffic" is clearly political and/or legal, I do think the *technical* implication of it are very much on-topic. After all, once this happens, we as network operators will be responsible for the filtering. Given that, I'd like to ask everyone to refrain off-hand comments about tubes and dump trucks - we all hear this joke every day. Discussion of morality of such filtering is also off-topic. Discussion of implementation of such filtering and effect of it on network operations at-large is clearly on-topic. Discussion of separating traffic (by network operators) into "bad" and "good" is also on-topic. The list is about technology and operations. This is not ITU. This is not C-SPAN. This is not 'general banter among network operators' list either. Before you post to the list, think - would you want to make a presentation at NANOG-conference based on your post? If it doesn't feel appropriate, the list post is similarly inappropriate. Also, this is another reminder that MLC *will* be giving formal warnings (which will eventually lead to removal from the list) to those who continue to post off-topic messages. As usual, should you wish to discuss this post, please do so on nanog-futures (reply-to has been set accordingly). Thanks! -alex [mlc chair]
