Do not fear the vocal minority.

I've been saying for years that it feels like everything is off-topic  
for nanog.  I think the challenge is keeping it relevant.  There is a  
community feedback forum for your concerns about nanog, including the  
nanog-futures list and a steering committee (which I happen to sit on)  
that are always willing to hear your feedback.
