Yeah; they've been through this mess several times.

It's funny -- the mere mention of "new.net" or "ORBS" on those operational
fora (NANOG, inet-access, etc.) has the almost pavlovian effect of
generating flamefests and inbox-filler. You could probably do a
sociological thesis using the members of NANOG as your subjects ;).

I unsubbed from NANOG months ago due to almost complete lack of useful
discussion. Sad, considering that it used to be really good.
