The "how to do without a /19" question remains unanswered.
No. You just don't like the answer. Get space from upstream like every other small provider does until they have sufficient track record to warrant their own space.
Been there. Done that. What I did not do was bother everybody else in the world with whining.

Are you saying that a /19 wouldn't put less load on the _system_ than the current situation + another block? Our /23 and /21 are from UUNET, our primary provider. ACSI is secondary provider. Teach me (read: offer your constructive criticism). I'm willing to learn.
