If you're a member of the bsdi-users list, I might agree that this was questionable content, but still within the realm of plausibility, given that so many people have been desperately looking for a product like this, it is new and innovative technology, and it was a relatively short and to the point synopsis. It was not a lengthy marketing junk email. If you're a member of the freebsd-isp list, you don't have a leg to stand on because this is something that is routinely requested by ISP's and is 1000% on topic for the list, particularly when done as tastefully as Dennis presented it. Dennis has been providing connectivity technologies in both camps for a long time. While people may not always agree with him, he has done the work and put in the time and effort and he has, in my opinion, earned the position of being someone who should be listened to. He is not a crackpot, particularly when he is discussing anything in his field of expertise, and it would be foolish to ignore him on some petty and misplaced rationale that his message was "junk email". ...
