let me be a bit more clear on this
o you affect the operational community, you talk with (not to) the
operational community where the operational community talks
o i have given a lot of blood to arin, far more than it deserved. so
do not tell me i need to give more.
o eighteen months or so ago, a gang of big arin folk guilt-tripped me
into running for the board (which i founded back in '96-'97). i did
the nomcom form and all that, AND WAS SILENTLY NOT ALLOWED ON THE
BALLOT. never given notice or reason. so take your high and mighty
open participation crap and shove it where the sun don't shine. but
i sure was relieved, to tell the truth. my mental and physical
health just don't need the arin vigilante high and mighty crap on a
daily basis.
