Darn well said (the whole post). Some of us *used* the
available
infrastructure almost to a fault about 15+ years ago (the
early days
of Sprint, MCI, ANSNet, etc) but it has slowly gone down
hill since.
It takes work to keep it all up to date but it appears that
it would
save a lot of pain (and very long threads on nanog) if we
did.
I've never been able to figure out the incentive program to
use it
though. "Stopping the pain" doesn't seem to do it
 (I
know, I know,
it's all about the money).
