I read it all carefully. Twice. I'm not taking sides here.
Please don't put me in that position. I'm only beating a
point to death. Common NANOG futility. You know the
deal... :-)

What? That's what I'm trying to find out, but I'm not as
smart as most, so I can only point out the things that I
believe definitely won't work and why I think that.
Hopefully by the application of flame to my butt by smart
people for saying what I do will spark some thought toward
the goal.

I get a 1984-like mgmtspeak feeling here. I don't know how
to respond except with this attempt (in order): what are
some suggestions for the major improvement, people are both
the problem and the solution (as in everything) and the
measuring stick is a noticable decline in the nefarious
deeds on the public internet.
