[NANOG] Re: [NANOG]Re: Request to Reinstate Feeless BGP Sessions with Enhanced Security Measures

[Christopher Hawker via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

It's not the first time OP has sent emails to the list or CC'ed the list on these emails that are IMO irrelevant, not 
to mention the fact that a large portion of what they've said has been disproven (see their previous email regarding 
the global IX with discounted peering and transit services). Can the list moderators do anything here?

Hurricane Electric, like any other business, are entitled to run their network in any way they see fit. If their 
customers aren't happy with how they do operate their network, they can look for another transit provider that does 
meet their requirements. There are plenty of them out there.

Regards,
Christopher Hawker
