	Get involved, then!  Bitching about stuff on NANOG doesn't help,
	as you've seen, so I really can't understand why you continue to
	do so.  If there's such an obvious gap, fill it!

	Personally, I don't think the gap is nearly as bad as you think;
	however, I'm involved with or on the edges of a number of groups
	that are quite active in some of the areas you seem to feel are
	missing from the Internet industry.

	Of course, this is /way/ off of the inflammatory topic that you
	started this thread with, so I'll save my prosyltizing(sp?) for
	some future event.
