We'ld prefer that such ISPs identify themselves here so we can
straighten them out. Wasn't that your intention when you asked this
question:
How many of you that currently do not filter your customer BGP
sessions have max-prefixes configured?
That seemed to me to be a small trick to get unsuspecting ISPs to
wave their hands "Over here!", so that we could whack'em.
