This type of question is very much a private matter between
consenting adults/peers/clients. I would not presume that
my clients would know what I was doing with this address space.
I would not presume that they were not using it either.
IMHO, this is something that is placed in the contract. Sort of
like a prenup, AIDS check, or whether my date bites -BEFORE-
its too late/embarassing.
