The following should be attributed to Jim Fleming:

I personally think it looks more anarcho-feudal. No
official hierarchy, except volunteers doing what they
can. Some of them even make money.
> republic than the democratic system in the U.S. that
Uh, no offense, but the U.S. I live in is a republic,
not a democracy.
So, anyway, thanks for a very amusing post.
On a more related note, if I recall correctly, Sprint
has lossened its prefix filtering, but Agis and somebody
else have tightened theirs. Did we ever get details,
or was I napping that week?
