Somewhat off-topic... I'm in the Mountain View area for the next couple of days (Monday and Tuesday), and was wondering if it would be possible to pay a meaningful visit to Netapp HQ or something. I keep meaning to do this, but being a last-minute sort of person, I always forget to make arrangements ahead of time. :-/ Please reply to me privately, thanks. :)
Brian Tao's request reminds me that we've seen almost nothing in toasters from posters @netapp.com in the last two months. [There was one from Charles Roufay on 30 May: before that I can find nothing since 3 May.]
As there used to be quite a lot, I wonder what's behind this. Technical problems posting to the list? Managerial edicts telling NetApp employees to stop wasting time on us losers?
Not that there's any obligation on NetApp's part to contribute, of course.
