Entirely agreed.  On the other hand I have what is turning out to be a
unique (here) point of view about this.  I don't want to prevent this
kind of theft -- I want to discover it, and remove perpetrators from any
IXP where they try it.  I don't want to block it.  I want to ensure that
it is never tried twice.  I appear to be in the minority wrt this view.
