Neither are they impressed by people who can't follow simple trains
of thought and paragraph structure.

"This" referring to 'noc () att net' and not 'nanog () merit edu'.
I think it was plain from his message ("I need to contact them"
instead of "I need to contact you", etc) that he understood
that 'nanog () merit edu' isn't the address for AT&Ts NOC.

It's not that I don't appreciate good flames, I just like
them to be properly directed.
