Filter (public, private and transit) peers or customers...? Or
themselves?
I've had a few customers spontaneously (ahem) come up with remarkably
"Rob Thomas" configs (if any noun can be verbed, can any name be
adjectived?) -- I usually convince them to tone down the filters a bit.
The funny ones are those who've signed up for a partial table or
default. Then again, I suppose you can't be too careful.
