I dislike this change - how long are subscribers considered "new"? I
believe (and I hope I'm wrong) that with this new rule the nanog
maiing list will turn into another fulldisc (list activity greatly
reduced) by this change. Before this change I had thought of nanog as
the new fulldisc - I guess I will have to find yet ANOTHER mailing
list for continued activity. And just for reference - have you guys
SEEN the "Linux Kernel Mailing List"? - it gets frequent spam posts
and yet is perfectly able to ignore the spam/irrelevant posts and
continue on its remit.
