Its seems to me the issue is two fold:
1. is it authorized traffic within the NSF/CREN/etc
guidelines as well as authorized use of campus networks
(remember they may have different guidelines
2. can anyone write a broad interpretation of such a
guideline that would allow such announcements as well as
books etc.
>From my standpoint, I would support announcements but no ordering
etc. lets use the phone, fax etc for placing orders etc. Limits..
yes some. Guess an announcement of a bulk buy of toilet paper while
critical to the nations R&D facilities is probably outside rational
interpretation of any rational guidelines. Books, equipment,
conferences , both profit and not for, comm services, etc should be
ok.
Anyone have the energy to try to formulate such a set of guidelines?
