How to do comes automatically, *why* to do is the difference between
a good and great engineer.

Watching old nanog (and other country-nog) archives is good, going to
the actual meetings and meeting people is better, and developing a
culture of shared understanding and colaboration is golden.

I guess I mean, working out the what the "best way" to build a network
is rather than following an example..

If you do like dead trees, then capturing the spirit of what I mean
comes from older books like my (prized) "ISP Survival Guide" (Geoff
Huston).

My 2p.
