It seems that Randy doesn't make off-topic posts, I am the only person to make off-topic
posts. Yes, I'm a little annoyed given the recent postings that you focus on
mine. Indeed, by comparision, mine are almost virtuous.

I pay just as much to attend conferences as anyone else, and my postings also
usually have fact rather than superfluous nonsense, such as the above demostrates.
And I often help people out with technical problems.

Is Nanog a club of Randy Bush's friends or is it a professional organization?
If Nanog is a professional organization, then fairness is part of the membership,
which I have paid.

So it seems strange that Susan Harris tells me to stop posting, and then permits people
to bash me for 2 days. I don't think my post about another similar incident
which shows that the bashers are wrong is unreasonable. Unless one has an agenda
to protect the opinions of the bashers. Or suppress the opinion of a operator.

If she really thought the Netgate and ORBS threads were inappropriate, a post
to Nanog asking everyone to stop would be more appropriate, then suppressing
one person.

Perhaps Susan has something personal against me, but I fail to see what or
why. I don't presume she needs a reason, and I've noticed that some certain
people don't like me. I don't know why that is, but I do expect employed staff
to behave professionally, and keep their personal dislikes to themselves.

If there is someone above Susan to complain to, I'd like to know who they are
and how to contact them.
