Gadi,

4 days and 56 messages later... no pieces of the sky have hit me on the head yet. Trolling NANOG-L is as productive as ever. How long until you troll us again? Will it be another "INTERNET EMERGENCY!!!!" or just a provocative statement that starts a 50-message OT argument about botnets? NANOG-L would be more useful to those of use who actually operate networks if you would stop it.
