Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. <snip>
Despite your baseless claims to the contrary, the Information Technology staff of Erie Forge and Steel is well aware, and approving, of the current usage of their IP space. What you consider "hijacking", they consider innovation, and an opportunity to give back to the Internet community that's allowed them to prosper over the years.
If they are truly giving back to the community, they should refer to BCP4.
Getting down to business, I have three larger concerns with the style and content of your posting. One, the NANOG AUP (http://www.nanog.org/aup.html) clearly states: "7. Postings to the list must be made using real, identifiable names and addresses, rather than aliases."
This _is_ my real address. I certainly don't feel the need to use an anonymous mailer, unlike yourself. The rest of your message is merely reaching. If you can convince someone that GweepCo (or RCN, since you harped on about them for a while) has/is/will done/doing/do something wrong or unethical, be my guest. However, I think you'll probably have a tough time doing so, since many of the GweepCo folks are respected members of the networking/systems community (I won't presume that I'm included in said list of folks), and AfterBurner and the rest of the RCN abuse team is widely respected as one of the best in the industry. <snip>
