Joe, a LOT of providers don't accept 198.32.4.0/24. We see it on 2 out of four paths. The other two providers are filtering it.
folks are encouraged to filter as they see fit. if folks would like to establish direct peering, please let me know.
It's often considered a Good Thing to not hear the networks of exchange points from peers/others. A conservative approach is to filter out announcements of EPs to which you are actually connected rather than all you can find; some folks just squash 198.32/16 and any other addresses they can find. It is worth noting that none of 198.32.2/24, 198.32.4/24 or 198.32/16 have IRR entries; that might adversely affect reachability in defaultless IRR-strict networks.
