that being said, i am not saying its the job of the NOC to post up on all the various message boards that they are down.

my point was a general response to your general point.

Fight the retort!
I see your point, and I think a measure of balance would be a reasonable middleground then. But, even when I was working in Sales and no longer heading up support at past companies, when a problem arose, I was in the DC with my hands on the issue. At any rate, building problems are like upstream provider issues - you just have to hold your dick and wait, which is super frustrating for hosts.

EDIT: /facepalm... didn't hit 'remove sig'...sorry.
