We don't ignore comments about connectivity, in fact quite the opposite. We study each AS and which ASes are behind them. We work on getting peering with the specific AS, in the case that they are unresponsive, getting the ASes behind them.
Among the things we do to discuss peering: send email to any relevant contacts, call them, contact them on IRC, send people to the relevant conferences to seek them out specifically, send people to their offices, etc.
So far we stop short of baking cakes, but hey...
And tonight we saw in public that even that path is being attempted: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77519640@N00/4031434206/ (and yes, it was yummy and enjoyed by all at the peering BoF!) So Cogent...won't you please make nice with HE.net and get back together again? ^_^ Matt (speaking for neither party, but very happy to eat cake nonetheless)
