Please post your password to nanog at .  Consider: either we're all benign, or
we're not.  And if we're not, either we're too lazy to read all the
messages to the list, or we're willing to rubber-hose the password out of
you.  Posting your password to the list is the most logical way to avoid
the hose.

You do want to avoid the hose, don't you?  ;)
