If the nanog readership is a few thousands, I suspect most of the
readership is small fry looking after a small amount of address space.
For example, I'm pretty much lost on the radar given my purview is but
a pair of /19s. Not everybody can be a Tier 1 provider...
Even though my user base may not be considered the most well-behaved
netizens (IRCNet I-lines were probably invented for them) I suspect
that trying to find 5-10k rogue users in an address space covering
about 16,000 hosts may still be a tad optimistic.
