I applaud this change. If I still traveled, I'd show up to the next 
NANOG, and buy the committee a beer. Instead, I send them my thanks.

I run a couple of mailing lists, and every once in a while, someone will 
subscribe and set off my cynicism meter. I hit the moderate button on 
the new account, and sad to say, I've only been wrong to do so once, out 
of the last ten times I did it.

Thanks again.
