I'm sending this to the proper request email. This is a decent idea that I support. NANOG Crew please read the below email and consider establishing a separate "socializing" email address so operational topics only exist on the current email list. Cheers Marla Azinger -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Senie [mailto:dts () senie com] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2010 8:47 AM To: NANOG list Subject: Time for a lounge mailing list It's been clear for a very long time that the NANOG crowd likes to socialize. At NANOGs, social settings are where connections are made, beers consumed, sometimes scuba dives shared or other local attractions explored. It is certainly a good thing, and fosters much useful discussion among peers who become friends. That said, the nanog () nanog org mailing list often is overrun with non-operational discussion. Certainly there are some good examples today, such as job titles, or arguing about the best way to rid the list of a troll. Creation of a second mailing list to handle non-operational, social traffic for the nanog crowd would be one way to keep the main list on topic. Might even boost productivity, as folks could more easily defer reading and responding to the non-operational stuff until their off-hours. So how about it? lounge () nanog org? offtopic () nanog org?
