        This isn't even an AUP issue.  It's all about RFC 1855 and a
        bit of confusion regarding the purpose of the list.

        Hint: anybody who can't find an RFC by number should probably
        start with a less technical list than NANOG.  But, I'll be
        nice and give you a URL:

                http://www.cybernothing.org/cno/docs/rfc1855.html

        I've been handing out that URL a lot this year, and we're not
        even a full week into it yet.  It's saddening.
