Are you seriously going to sit there and claim that someone asking about
how to set up 2 default routes on a FreeBSD box is operationally
or technically relevant to the NANOG community at large?
I believe their email fails the NANOG pre-posting guide (specifically #3)
and furthermore that it would be far better answered on a FreeBSD specific
mailing list.
This same person posted a question on Wednesday about MTU's stating "Why?
but I still don't know why mtu can cause this problem." I seriously doubt
this was relevant to the thousands of people who read this list but I
could be wrong about that one too.
Perhaps someone from the MLC can comment on whether these sorts of posts
qualify as relevant.
On the other hand, if you really want to answer these sorts of questions
then perhaps people can email you directly? I personally think NANOG has
enough noise as it is.
