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.
