Its operational and de minimus and sometimes the most simple way to 
arrange something... e.g. a mail filter/blackhole and no obvious contact 
phone number (e.g. the remote website is affected by the blackhole, etc).

This is not a suggestion that NANOG should be carte-blanche a paging 
service, but in the few cases it appears, it doesn't seem to be 
clue-deprived requests that often.
