(it's not really hiding)
it's many years old,
and inspired by the spirit originally intended
by craig's ipn-list. (i.e., it wasn't kc's idea)
it's still supported (at the very least)
but i don't consider it a reasonable substitute
for the Right Way.
but then i don't see any other Reasonable Substitutes
for the Right Way (i.e.., beyond nanog-mailinglist)
gaining any traction, so i probably shouldn't
be so hard on it.

(note i moved it from www.caida.org:4766;
i'll get the web page fixed tomorrow)

It might be worthwhile to post a pointer to this MOO. There have been
several posts about it, but no pointers on how to access it.
I only have very limited experience with MUD's/MOO's/whatever, but I'm
certainly willing to give it a shot if it helps inter-provider
communication.
