[lacnog] BGP Communities Operator Survey

[Lucas Willian Bocchi]

Hello Thomas,

While research on BGP communities can certainly be interesting and
valuable, I disagree with using the LACNOG mailing list to conduct surveys
for private companies or external entities.

What would this list become if every company and external group started
using it as a channel to distribute their own surveys?

This is not the purpose for which I and many others subscribed. I request
that the list moderators review this matter and take appropriate action
before the mailing list becomes diluted and unusable. The list rules must
be clear, enforced, and applied equally to everyone.

Regards,
