Re: [44net] routable or private?

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ -----Original Message----- No, 44net is a PUBLIC IP address range. There are plenty of PRIVATE IP ranges that we can freely and arbitrarily use without care or regard whatsoever, and the 10/8 network is large enough for hams to build a substantial world-wide network without further ado. [N6MEF] Steve, that's simply absurd. Go back and read the previous posts about address conflicts. Why my main concern is with all this 44net stuff, and what we're seeing a lot of, is peoples' scaremongering and huge propensity to self-regulate and self-police to the absurd, resulting in the 44net never being any more than another reason to have an argument on some forum and then sit back on our arse and do nothing whatsoever. If this is actually going to be the case then my recommendation would be to find some facebook group or other forum to put ones' efforts into, and see if you might stir up some irrational waste-of-time argument there, because doing it in a 44net forum is likely to, at the very least, cause quite a few people to just give up, and at the very worst, have someone very concisely and perhaps not so politely explain the problem to you. [N6MEF] Before chastising others, you should look in the mirror. I believe it was you who started this thread. [N6MEF] I specifically asked what problem you were trying to solve. No answer. I specifically asked how many systems/services you were currently running. No answer. So who's the one who's just stirring up argument with no real end goal? [N6MEF] Many people provided you with respectful and useful responses. But your statement above demonstrates that you're either unwilling or unable to pay attention to or learn from their responses. Either way, maybe you should take your own advice: enjoy net 10 and leave the rest of us alone.
