   The NSF-requested traffic blocking by ANS is not an "attempt(s) to degrade
   service on the Internet," but an assurance that self-designated potentially
   non-NSF-Acceptable-Use-conformant traffic will not leak into nets that don't
   want to carry it.

Sounds like the same thing, really, from two different perspectives.  I'll
make sure I save this quote for when the users bitch about connectivity...
