% most of your talk was ok, but i was frankly offended by the
% gratuitous hype at the end -- advertising on behalf of any vendor,
% independent of product, is inappropriate at a conference like NANOG.
% worse, your freebie plug was literally all hype and no substance, and i 
% believe that it is not unreasonable for you to apologize to everyone for this
% appalling misbehaviour at the end of an otherwise informative and even 
% interesting operationally-focused presentation.

I apologize for making reference to a specific vendor announcement at
the end of the presentation. It was  uncalled for.
