For one magic moment I thought Metallica was coming to RIPE-50. :-) Gordon -----Original Message----- From: ripe-list-admin(a)ripe.net [mailto:ripe-list-admin@ripe.net] On Behalf Of Camilla Meidell Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 10:06 AM To: Jim Reid; Titley, Nigel Cc: RIPE NCC meeting coordinator; wg-chairs(a)ripe.net; ripe-list(a)ripe.net; local-ir(a)ripe.net Subject: Re: RIPE 50: Registration Now Open Well, At 05:10 PM 3/8/2005 +0000, Jim Reid wrote: >Nigel> I'm somewhat disappointed to see the RIPE NCC adopting the > Nigel> habit though. > >That's my point.

You may find listing the country superfluous information - However you'd be surprised how many people confuse the Scandinavian countries - How many times have I heard "You're from Oslo, is that the capital of Sweden?" Besides, most events are listed that way, as they are on the events calendar at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/calendar.html Same on Metallica's concert tour for instance: http://www.metallica.com/tour/dates.html :) Camilla

I'm sure most of the Americans on our lists are well aware we're not referring to hick towns in the US. As are the rest of the people on the NCC's lists. Nigel> I'm somewhat disappointed to see the RIPE NCC adopting the Nigel> habit though. That's my point. Where will this idiocy end? Do we have to explain that Sweden's in Europe? Or Europe's a continent on Earth?

To our dear American cousins it could be a small town in the mid west, for example, Cairo (Illinois), Rome (Illinois) and Paris (Illinois). Hence their tendency to qualify with country, for example, Cairo (Egypt), Paris (France) and Rome (Italy). I'm somewhat disappointed to see the RIPE NCC adopting the habit though. -- Nigel Titley Peering Coordinator, FLAG Telecom +44 20 8564 5812 ********************************************************************** This e-mail message is confidential and is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and contains information which is or may be confidential, non-public or legally privileged.
