It's interesting, but I don't see any way to do what I primarily
use the existing BGPMon for: watch for hijacks.
That is,

A simple air conditioner thermostat wired to the EPO switch.
For safety, wire two thermostats in series so BOTH have to trip
before power is shut off.
Note that the EPO rarely does an orderly shutdown, but then this
is a sort of an emergency.

It is my belief that whether to 'top post' or 'bottom post' may

In USENET, bottom posting was preferred because messages often

It was a telephone call to Jon (there was no email) in 1981 that

The US NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration)
has published an inquiry as to whether its transfer of stewardship of
IANA to ICANN in 2016 should be "unwound." They are requesting comments
from interested parties to be sent to them by early July.
