I was fired from eBay several years ago for posting to NANOG trying to help others deal with the dDoS issues of those days, nothing said was fair for termination IMO. Using a personal account may be prudent. Now I hardly ever even post.

Randy,

If you want to cite list policy, let's start by noting that it's a clear
violation of the nanog list AUP to setup an autoresponder reply to list
email[1], no matter if the autoresponder replies to the list or just to
the poster.  You must whitelist email from the list before applying an
autoresponder.  If you don't want to see the disclaimer-laden emails,
then you can whitelist, then send posts with disclaimers (along with all
other posts you don't care to read) to dev/null.

OTOH, there is nothing in the AUP about disclaimers.  Disclaimers, top
posting, excessive quoting, etc. are discouraged (considered poor
netiquette) but not outright forbidden.
Either way, a 15-50 or more lines legal notification style appendix to
a mail in an informal operation's forum... ... seems at the very best...
to be of... bad taste... (to me). (Who's reading these? :))

Cheers,

mh
