Actually, there are several lawyers lurking on NANOG. The direct and
indirect readership of NANOG is rather diverse, extending far beyond
network operators. I don't know if either of the inventors of the
Internet (Al Gore or Vint Cerf) get copies of any of the messages, but
lots of reporters, researchers, spies, hackers, law enforcement officers,
regulators, inspector generals, policy makers, lobbyists and wonks do.
