Too much on Cogent and Level 3

["Steven M. Bellovin" <smb () cs columbia edu>]

Will the list moderators please declare this topic closed?  Two days 
ago, someone asked me "is this NANOG or Slashdot?" -- and it hasn't 
gotten any better.

I don't think anyone is learning anything new at this point.

If the moderators don't say something, could everyone else please 
refrain from posting?
