As you can see, the third and fourth hop are advertising 10's and ? wouldn't think a provider would want traffic passing through a private address space.
ugh. you have just raised the skeleton of one of the top 3 most popular religious wars in this forum. There is no consensus on this. I personally think it's bad form, but as these addresses are unlikely to appear in anything other than a traceroute, it's probably not hurting anything.
What if I were to tell you that some of these "so called private" servers/machines, have telnet open to the @Home world ? Now that is a problem. Its one thing to route these IP's among your equipment, its another to not restrict customer access to them.
