I'm wondering if there's something special about 69/8... I can't recall this sort of discussion for 61/8 through 68/8, at least after CIDR in the former Class A space was initially validated.

For a very interesting comparison, do groups.google.com searches for 69.0.0.0/8 and then for 61.0.0.0/8. While the first is several pages of hits saying to block 69.0.0.0/8 as a bogon, all the links for 61.0.0.0/8 seem to suggest blocking that /8 due to spam.
