Absent the passage of an SPCCA-esque Federal law, the enforceability
of EULAs in the face of actual, quantifiable financial damage is
untested at best, farcical at worst.

This is, of course, entirely non-operational in content, so I'd like

Send email to nanog-offtopic-subscribe@lists.blank.org to be added to
the list.  Only you can prevent endless non-operational digressions on
nanog@merit.edu!
