	This isn't even an AUP issue.  It's all about RFC 1855 and a
	bit of confusion regarding the purpose of the list.

	Hint: anybody who can't find an RFC by number should probably
	start with a less technical list than NANOG.  But, I'll be
	nice and give you a URL:

		http://www.cybernothing.org/cno/docs/rfc1855.html

	I've been handing out that URL a lot this year, and we're not
	even a full week into it yet.  It's saddening.
