Well. After getting back from a trip I find, what? That Mr. Bush has a bug up his ass. Bottom line: - We do default route. Into a Sprint T3 that we pay for. :-) - We do not pass no-next-hop-self routes - Check around, if someone was as bright as they think they are it would be obvious. - We only peered with Verio in the first place becuase someone other than Randy contacted us - We formerly sent a lot of traffic to Verio because it's customers love porn, and we have several rather large web farms downstream. The number listed in whois is bad, sorry, it happens. But the number on our web site is not. When there is a problem and we are involved, I say so. There was no problem here and we won't miss Verio peering one bit.

your peering at mae-east is very unacceptable. the phone number in whois is answered by a modem. so you have been de-peered with 2914.

Our peering at mae-east is very acceptable to us. However we find that Verio brings nothing to our table. Thank you and Goodbye. Matt
