If there are any BGP clueful contacts at Global Crossing listening (or if someone listening wants to forward this to them :-), I would appreciate your getting in touch.
Out of curiousity, why do you think anyone here on NANOG would be willing to bother the clueful contacts they know at provider (X) based on an email like this? It's absolutely content-free.
Having been on both sides of an issue like this one, I'd much rather see polite requests like the original requestor, rather than a 10 page dump on why provider X is severely borked. Good netiquette, seems to me.
10 page dump is excessive; but a one or two line "I'm seeing bad advertisements from AS ZZZZ at the following peering location" goes a long way to explain what the need and urgency is around the issue.
