I don't know what case prompted Ferg to post his message to NANOG, but I
know that there are cases where failing to act is comparable to ignoring
the screams for help of an "alleged" rape victim during the "alleged"

concerns for personal safety etc.), but I can assure you that ambiguity
is not one of them.
