cisco-nsp is for cisco operators in network service provider environments.
 Everyone on the mailing list is ok about occasional basic questions and
people are nearly always extremely polite and helpful towards the people
who ask them.

MK consistently and regularly uses the list as a first-line support desk
for extremely basic questions, most of which could be answered by spending
a couple of minutes on google, and some of which are completely unrelated
to cisco kit.  It's also clear that many of the questions relate to
synthetic lab setups, student configuration or are otherwise unrelated to
NSP service environments.  This is abusive and disrespectful towards the
good will of the people on the mailing list and frankly it's a waste of
their time.

It has politely suggested to MK on many occasions that she/he stop doing
this, as well as other things like email formatting which destroys
fixed-width quotations, which makes it really troublesome to figure out
what's going on.  These polite requests have either been ignored or in the
case of simply and easily fixing the quotation problem, been replied to
with "no".

I agree it would be better to ignore the emails, but people have become
pissed off to the point that they are now being rude.

Jared, as the list owner, could you consider applying a cluebat please?
