This has not been universally true, in the past.
If anyone remembers the "Sneak Peak" postings that came from a Dejanews
style web-interface to Usenet[0], the software they provided did not
even *display* the Reply-To, let alone use it.
Broken? Without question. Sufficient to black-list someone? Seems a
little harsh.
I would assume that similar bits of brokeness still exist in various
bits of similar non-spam software. That someone is using broken
software, but isn't committing a breach of the various ORBx rules, would
seem to be an unhelpful way to run a system.
[0] I forget who, sorry.

Why would he possibly need to borrow boxes? Apparently, he has a
fabrication known simply as 'The Stack' that has (count-em) 133 machines
in it. In fact, someone who can afford the juice for 133 machines (let
alone the 133 machines themselves) should surely not have to worry about
small issues like bandwidth.

Amazing how some people don't do their research, isn't it.
'The Stack' is currently being rebuilt, having had parts of it fail, other
parts reach the end of their life (not fail but simply start to expire, if
you see the difference[1])
The VoIP is going to be even more interesting, since I am planning a
pico-cell to accept 4 mobile phones as part of the VoIP network, switched
using a Duron-based box in the loft with an ISDN gateway.
Since A&A is moving to BGP, routing a /24 is less difficult now than it
would have been, but have you tried getting PI addresses recently?
Photo of the stack at its worst is not available, sorry.

I understand it's a bit like getting a net.uk address. Easy if you are
eligable.

How about at it's best then? :) We're all very impressed and keen to

Sorry, I merely remembered a posting that brought some amusement to
people in the office. I apologise if it now out of date.

No, sorry, I don't. Are you saying your PCs have sell-by dates on them?

More interesting than say 'These boxen run as a single SMP server, using
a version of Linux.' I presume you mean they run as a cluster, under an
SMP-like environment such as, uhm, MOSIX?
OK, so you want to open up the Stick to things like Seti@home that can
run through a work unit in under an hour. That sounds quite cool, how
does that work then?
> Since A&A is moving to BGP, routing a /24 is less difficult now than it

Routing a /24 for who is less difficult? And no, I haven't tried getting
PI space recently, I've had no need of it, but it's not difficult to get
if you need it. I seriously doubt anyone at A&A would be daft enough to
give you a /24 of PA space for your bizarre ideas. Justifying that to
RIPE in the event of an audit would be something I'd like to witness.
RIPE will not give you a /24 of PI space for ADSL.

Why not?

groups.google.com also ignores Followup-To: which is very annoying, I've
mailed them about it but had no reply.

No, I am saying that some of the machines have simply 'worn out' or are
now too old to be effective.
Others have had PSU, HDD, memory parity etc errors.
The new stack will be less machines (probably about 20) but will be
running better processors, minimum AMD K6 200. The whole idea of the
original stack was an SMP cluster of /'old' machines (originally 386/486
boxen) running Extreme Linux as an experiment.

IF I can justify usage, why should I not get a /24?
> RIPE will not give you a /24 of PI space for ADSL.
RIPE are happy to provide a /24 of PA for ADSL. IIRC, someone has a /22 on
ADSL 'oop nurth'

Kill-filing is a property of the news client, not the rest of the world's
behaviour on a news group. If your killfile doesn't understand followups,
take it out and get a proper one, blydi selfish tosser.
